"The objective of launching Africa Village by Women 2010, is to highlight the important role that women entrepreneurs have to play in the socio-economic space. We aim to assist government with sustainability in Africa and challenge government and corporate organisations to participate and ask them to sponsor leading women entrepreneurs. Make it possible for our African women to seize the opportunities by enabling them to actively participate in the village", says Madelein Mkunu, president and founder of Leading Women of Africa - the first ever Pan-African organisation dedicated to the economic empowerment of women through enterprise business development.
