30 Days. African Female Entrepreneurs. Real Capital.
What Is #ACAFÉ30?
ACAFÉ30 is a 30-day online challenge led by ACAFÉ to:
-
Identify African women entrepreneurs doing real work on the ground
-
Amplify their stories with dignity and consent
-
Mobilize micro-investments ($100–$1,000) from values-aligned supporters
-
Prove that access—not talent—is the missing link
Each day, we feature one woman entrepreneur and invite our community to step in—not to save, but to support.
How It Works
1. We Find Her
ACAFÉ identifies women entrepreneurs through community referrals and public storytelling—always with consent and care.
2. We Share Her Story
Each entrepreneur is featured across ACAFÉ platforms with:
-
Her business story
-
Her vision
-
A clear, specific funding need
3. You Step In
Supporters commit micro-investments or sponsorships to help her:
-
Purchase equipment or inventory
-
Expand production
-
Improve operations or market access
4. Capital Meets Opportunity
ACAFÉ facilitates transparent introductions and ensures funds are used for the stated purpose.
Why African Women Entrepreneurs?
African women are:
-
Starting businesses at higher rates than anywhere else in the world
-
Supporting families, communities, and local economies
-
Systematically underfunded and overlooked by traditional capital
When women gain access to capital:
-
Children stay in school
-
Communities stabilize
-
Economies grow
Investing in African women is not a risk—it’s a proven strategy.
