IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Dear SHE Big 4 Participants,

We regret to inform you that, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to hold a physical edition of the SHE Big 4 Awards 2024 for Kenya, Zambia, South Africa, and Ghana. This was not an easy choice, as we deeply value the opportunity to celebrate the remarkable achievements of women entrepreneurs in person. Instead, we will announce the winners on our website, and arrange to send out their well-deserved awards. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support as we adapt to ensure your incredible contributions are recognized.
