The Aspiring Women Awards Africa is designed celebrate aspiring African women who have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate drive, passion, desire and have shown results through consistency of such traits through thick and thin to become everything they have intended to be; women who have made a significant and long-term business contribution to creating smarter and more inclusive working environments; women who have truly excelled, not only in their professional lives, but as leaders and role models, more importantly, women who dare to take the unfamiliar and unusual path. 

While many of these women come from different industries and walks of life, they share several traits: a strong sense of self, a success-driven work ethic and the extraordinary accomplishments to show for it. Their commitment, vision and talents make them true leaders in their chosen fields. 

The Award again honours an individual or organization that has made a lasting impact on empowering women and girls in Africa to ensure future generations of women’s success.
