ADEIF has been established specifically to address issues of economic inequality for members of the African Diaspora, in particular African heritage female entrepreneurs. We work to support the African Diaspora professional and entrepreneur community to gain equal economic opportunities within the UK. Lack of access to finance, funding and network are consistent challenges affecting women business owners. These issues are exacerbated for African heritage women who face exclusion because of both gender and race. We bring greater access to opportunity which, in turn, will help the economy to become one that is not subject to internal or hidden discrimination. Additionally, by raising awareness of the issues of economic inequality facing the African Diaspora, we will help drive sustainable economic solutions for the benefit of the public.
