Launched in 2016, Women In Africa (WIA) is the first international platform dedicated to economic development and supporting African women entrepreneurs. At WIA, we are convinced that pan-African women contribute greatly, through their actions, to the change and impact they bring to the continent's progress. Stop Hunger is Sodexo's only philanthropic cause and works towards a world without hunger. Started in the United States in 1996 by Sodexo employees, the movement has grown globally, now present in 60 countries, working hand in hand with more than 300 NGOs.

Each of the 3 associations that reach WIA will receive €5,000. At the end of the mentoring program, one of the three finalist organizations will be chosen by the jury members based on pre-established criteria and will receive an additional financial support of €5,000. Furthermore, the representative will be invited to the annual Stop Hunger event in Paris to receive a trophy and benefit from a crowdfunding campaign during the event. The 3 selected associations will participate in a 6-month personalized mentoring program led by Stop Hunger and Women In Africa.
