Women for Afrika Board

The WFA Board serves the community with a strong and committed Leadership Circle who are dedicated to creating opportunities like education, training, workshops, leadership development, personal growth and access to resources.

This committed group of women will actively be participating in and contributing to both the local and the global Woman Within community which spans 10 global regions.

The world is calling out for leaders who are self-aware, know that life is a process of consistent evolution, and who work not only for this generation but for all the generations to come. The Board, together with the Leadership Circle are aware that feminine leadership is sought after and the aim is to support this by weaving it into the NPO’s strategy, policy, and programming.

Governance Dates

WFA's financial year runs from 1 August to 31 July. Our AGM is generally held in October/November where we present an annual report, the annual financial statements, any changes to our Constitution and any changes to the Board.
Attendance at the AGM is open to all women who have done the Woman Within weekend.

Message from our Board

Collaboration is our guiding star: with each other, the Leadership Circle, our facilitators, the WFA community, Women Within International and beyond.

Our vision for 2026/2027 is a WFA that is clear, grounded and expanding: a community where trust is a given and where we hold one another. One of our focuses is growing our community in Gauteng. We are also working on fundraising, diversity, succession planning and strengthening the connections across our whole ecosystem, so that we move as one big circle.

The Board works closely in support of the Leadership Circle:

We are committed to preserving a safe space for our community in which all are valued and able to grow. We hold ourselves and those we work with, accountable to the values that matter to us as a Board: integrity, collaboration, diligence and clarity.

Our foundation is strong, our hearts are in it, and the wind is in our sails. Together, we are growing a community where every woman can be seen, supported and empowered.
