About WIM-Africa
Women in Mining Africa (WIM-Africa)
Women in Mining Africa (WIM-Africa) is a Pan-African organization that aims to improve the working conditions of women artisanal miners in African rural communities through advocacy programs and projects. Our team is dedicated to bringing positive change to the lives of these women. We work tirelessly to create opportunities and provide support to those who need it the most.
We provide the necessary information, knowledge, skills and capacity required for women miners to boost their sources of livelihood through opportunities.
The initiative for women miners seeks to address the harsh conditions of women artisanal mining and advocate for improvements by facilitating responsible environmental, economic and social approaches to mining.
WIM-Africa will continue to provide leadership to existing local NGOs, CBOs or associations focused on women miners in Africa and build capacities of women in the upstream, midstream and downstream of the solid minerals sector for better social and economic returns with sustainability in mind.
We provide advocacy programs and projects to improve the lives of women artisanal miners in Africa. We have a dedicated team of professionals who work tirelessly to create opportunities and support those who most need it.
