  • AWIMA Jewellery

  • We are inviting all African women in the jewellery value chain - mine owners, traders, gem cutters, jewellers, jewellery shop owners, equipment suppliers, financiers, women in mining associations to help create a female led from mine to market African regional jewellery value chain.

    Why?
    African women produce gemstones and metals that contribute to the $400 billion dollar jewellery market yet don’t receive their fair share.

    What is AWIMA Jewellery?
    AWIMA Jewellery is a product and a platform. A platform to connect women in the jewellery value chain for business opportunities and upskilling. AWIMA jewellery is a product - a collection of jewellery sourced from and made by African women.

    Who is AWIMA?
    Association of Women in Mining in Africa (AWIMA) is a network of African national women in mining, oil and gas associations. Our mission is to promote leadership, inclusion, and sustainable empowerment of women in mining. awimaafrica.org

    Why participate in AWIMA Jewellery?
    This network can help you generate new business leads, increase your visibility, identify good business practices and make new connections especially considering how COVID-19 has impacted the industry.
