Applications are invited for the Women for Zero Hunger Program 2023. Stop Hunger and Women in Africa believe in the potential and determination of women to lift the most vulnerable communities out of hunger, therefore, together they created the Women for Zero Hunger programme, in order to support associations fighting against hunger and food insecurity in Africa.

Launched in 2016, Women In Africa (WIA) is the first international platform dedicated to the economic development and support of African women entrepreneurs. At WIA, they are convinced that Pan-African women contribute greatly, through their actions, to the change and impact they bring to the continent’s progress.
