organisation
Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is a pan-African feminist leadership development organization founded in 1985 by a group of African women living in the diaspora, who remained keenly aware of their African roots and the need to organize autonomously. We were named Akina Mama wa Afrika which means solidarity among African women.

our creed
Our roots run far and deep into a rich Intersectional Feminist terrain that we water with Radical Love to cultivate dreams of a Pan-African existence that is dignified for all.
We are committed to a continued Consciousness raising that honours our past, understands our present and expands the possibilities of our future.
We believe that our bodies are the first site of every change we desire and thus believe in the Embodiment of each of our politics that is seen through our thoughts and practices.
We are optimistic about our future and believe that through continuous Innovation, we will see the change we dream of.
