Welcome to KZNWAF
The future is female
and it starts here.
From the green valleys of uMzinyathi to the bustling markets of eThekwini, women are dreaming big, stepping forward with ideas that can transform our communities and build a brighter tomorrow.

Not just a fund, but
a movement

For far too long, these dreams have faced roadblocks: outdated systems, scattered support, and missed opportunities.
We offer a new way of supporting women’s ideas and ambitions. We believe that no great idea should go unheard, and no capable woman should be left behind.
What these women need isn’t charity. They need infrastructure, capital, and access. And we’re here to build exactly that.

Building a platform
with purpose
Women deserve access to capital, entry into markets, and the freedom to build on their own terms.
KZNWAF is how we make that possible. We’re developing South Africa’s
first women focused grant aggregator; a digital platform built to
connect women with the resources, partners, and pathways they need
to thrive.
