By supporting sustainable initiatives led by women, we aim to create lasting solutions for communities in need.
Eligibility criteria:

- The association must be African or active in an African country
- The association must work in at least one African Anglophone and/or Francophone country
Selection criteria:
- Number of beneficiaries supported by the association

Benefits
€10,000
Each of the 3 non-profit organizations will receive €10,000. At the end of the mentoring period, one of the three finalist associations will be chosen by the jury members on the basis of pre-established criteria and will be invited to the annual Stop Hunger evening in Paris to receive the Stop Hunger trophy. This will give the winning association extra visibility as a crowdfunding operation during the event.
6 months
The 3 selected associations will take part in a 6-month-personalised-mentoring program run by Stop Hunger and WIA Philanthropy. This mentorship will not only help refine their skills and strategies but also strengthen their resilience and ability to overcome specific challenges they may face.
