The African Virtuous Women Awards have grown in influence and impact, leading the way in recognising and celebrating the many achievements of exceptional women.

Recipients of these awards are women from various sectors, from public service to business owners, who have achieved their success against all odds. These female trailblazers have broken glass ceilings, they work hard to remove barriers for other women and they are disrupting established industry norms through innovation.

With longstanding support from prominent industry organisations and small businesses, the African Virtuous Women Awards continues to be a distinguished programme that inspires the next generation, fuels entrepreneurial passion and galvanises women to be a force for change.
