The Women for Africa Foundation is a private Spanish, non-profit entity created in February 2012 by María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, former vice president of the Spanish Government.
Our mission
The main objective of the foundation is to contribute to the development of the African continent through the support and accompaniment of its women, who are the driving force behind its progress.
Women for Africa is committed to and works for democracy, governance, peace, human rights and sustainable economic and social development. And all of this in terms of equality because we are convinced that equality is the most powerful factor crucial of social transformation.
Our vision
To be an entity of reference at the national and international level in the efforts to promote fair, inclusive and equitable development in Africa, in which women are free and have full citizenship status.
To this end, we work on our own programs and through strategic alliances and collaborations with other organizations that share this objective; always having as a key element the contribution of social value and innovation.
Our values
The values of Women for Africa are those that sustain and drive democratic societies that respect the rights and dignity of people: Freedom, equality, solidarity, honesty, respect, transparency, tolerance and defense of diversity.
