Running a business today comes with more challenges than ever before — from adapting to a digital economy to facing the realities of climate change.
That’s why a new initiative, Green Women Rising, is stepping up to support women across Africa with the tools, skills, and confidence they need to grow and succeed.
A Partnership for Women’s Empowerment
Green Women Rising is led by the Triple Green Environmental Development Foundation (TGED Foundation) in partnership with ImpactHER, a pan-African nonprofit working to close the gender financing gap in business.
Together, they are providing fully funded online training programs designed specifically for women entrepreneurs.
The goal is simple: to help women-led businesses strengthen their digital presence, refine their strategies, and prepare for investment opportunities — all while becoming more resilient in the face of climate and economic challenges.
What the Training Covers
This one-month program is more than just lessons.
It’s about equipping women with practical knowledge and tools that can make a real difference. Participants will learn how to:
-
Build a strong online presence that reaches new customers.
-
Develop effective business strategies for long-term growth.
-
Prepare to attract investors and secure funding.
-
Adapt to economic shifts and climate pressures with resilience.
Women already working in green, sustainable, or climate-smart businesses — such as agriculture, recycling, eco-products, and environmental services — are especially encouraged to apply, though the program is open to all women-led businesses across Africa.
What You’ll Gain
The benefits of Green Women Rising go beyond just training:
-
Fully funded virtual sessions delivered by ImpactHER experts.

Certificate of Completion (with 90% attendance required).
