Mission

Celebrating, Empower and Promote

Celebrating female entrepreneurship and creativity. We want to highlight the work done by women of African descent. Despite the fact that race and gender issues have become widespread in recent years, women of African descent have been and continue to be systematically devalued. Femmes d’Espérance breaks with this narrative and offers a platform where female entrepreneurship is brought to the fore. Through examples of women who are already making an impact in society, we also want to empower those who are not yet involved. This last point is the other side of the coin, in the sense that our first objective goes hand in hand with empowerment.

Empowering women and girls. Above all, we want to focus on leadership because it is fundamental to effecting any kind of societal change. Whether it’s changing mentalities or managing a project from conception to completion, leadership is an essential skill. We want to encourage women to believe in their dreams, and our desire is to see them take concrete action to realize those dreams. Some may need additional training, while others may need to be connected with relevant partners. Whatever the means, our desire is to equip our members with the right tools to succeed.

Promoting innovation. In this 3rd decade of the 21st century, businesswomen and women leaders must find solutions to new kinds of problems. With the rise in educated populations, consumers have become very demanding in the types of products and services they want. What’s more, the Internet has opened the way to greater competition. This means you have to be innovative and think outside the box to find your place in the market.
