About Power Woman Africa
Proven Foundation. Elevated Platform
Power Woman Africa is built on more than a decade of sustained, measurable impact in women’s leadership development across Africa and the diaspora. For over 15 years, the platform formerly known as Inspired Women of Worth (IWOW) served as one of Africa’s most consistent and respected ecosystems for developing women leaders across business, corporate, public sector, and civil society.
​
The Inspired Women of Worth (IWOW) Leadership Network was launched in 2010 in Johannesburg, South Africa to inspire, connect and empower women to live fully and with purpose. It had also since 2020 expanded to incorporate a leadership academy, which in its inaugural year graduated 112 outstanding aspiring, emerging, and advanced female leaders.
Through curated programs, leadership academies, corporate partnerships, and large-scale convenings, IWOW focused on foundational capacity building, equipping women with confidence, clarity, and leadership competence at critical stages of their growth.

THE RESULTS
