MABELE YA BOZUI
Empowering African Women to Become Leaders Who Make a Difference
Building sustainable businesses within the African diaspora through mentoring, training, and strategic partnerships.
About Us
Mabele Ya Bozui (“Earth” in Lingala) is a Brussels-based nonprofit organization founded by African women from the diaspora that transforms African women’s entrepreneurship into a driver of sustainable and inclusive growth.
An integrated ecosystem where women of color, project leaders, and entrepreneurs from the diaspora have access to infrastructure, capital, and mentorship—the building blocks needed to turn their ambitions into businesses.
We’re not just a network; we’re a complete infrastructure.
Our mission
In contrast to aid-based models, Mabele Ya Bozui advocates for joint capacity-building.
We believe that the economic leadership of women in the diaspora is the driving force behind the Euro-African green transition.
