The second edition of the book Women Creating Wealth (WCW): A Collection of Stories by African Women Entrepreneurs gathers motivational narratives from 45 successful African women business owners from around the continent, sharing the lessons they have discovered along the way.

The book examines the difficulties faced by African women business owners, the methods they employ to deal with these difficulties, and the lessons we may draw from their experiences.

With assistance from the Mastercard Foundation (MCF), which has played a significant role in assisting female entrepreneurs throughout Africa, we hope to empower a lot more women, assist them in taking control of their own financial futures, and enable them to contribute to the expansion and development of their local communities and the continent as a whole.

We believe that by sharing these experiences, we will encourage other women to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations and demonstrate to the world that Africa is a thriving continent with successful women entrepreneurs dedicated to generating wealth and prosperity for themselves, their families, and their communities.

More than 400 women have received help from Women Creating Wealth (WCW) throughout the years, and this year, more will be added through a number of partner initiatives, including The Mastercard Foundation. The first book was released in 2017. This was a collection of 60 African women entrepreneurs' inspiring tales, spanning from modest to huge enterprises.
