About Mabele Ya Bozui
Our Identity
Mabele Ya Bozui is a non-profit organization based in Brussels-Capital that is dedicated to strengthening the leadership and economic independence of African women entrepreneurs in Belgium, France, and Africa.
The organization was founded on a clear observation: women from the African diaspora possess considerable expertise, cultural resources, and innovative capacity, yet face structural barriers that limit their access to funding, professional development, visibility, and strategic networks.
Mabele Ya Bozui was founded to address these challenges by building a cohesive, ethical, and sustainable ecosystem specifically focused on the natural cosmetics, perfumery, sustainable agriculture, food processing, and wellness sectors.
Our goal
Our work aims to transform small-scale initiatives into structured, innovative, and responsible economic enterprises capable of establishing a lasting presence in local and international markets.
We are creating a framework for training, support, and networking that promotes excellence, quality, and sustainability.
Mabele Ya Bozui works to promote the economic and social empowerment of women, particularly those from the African diaspora who face structural inequalities and multiple forms of discrimination.
In practical terms, what is our approach?
Green Skills & Sustainable Entrepreneurship
European cooperation
Responsible value chains
