The network
Women rise furthest when they rise together.
The Women Allying Women (WAW) Network is an initiative of the Office of Her Royal Majesty Olori Atúwàtse III, powered by Elevate Africa. Launched in December 2024, its mission is to build a powerful network of women supporting women for a stronger Africa.
