Mission

Our mission is to fight for human dignity, racial and gender equality, by promoting access to economic rights for black women across Brazil.

Vision

Our vision is to establish the Agbara Fund as an important and innovative philanthropic entity to support black women in Brazilian territory.

Values

Our values are anti-racism, transparency, solidarity, passion, diversity and citizen conscience.

56% of brazilian population is black.

47% of brazilian entrepreneurs are black women.

67% of unemployed people are black.

44% of black women earn lower wages than of white men.

Social funds emerge as a response to the lack of public policies directed to strengthen the community and autonomy of black women.

The Agbara Fund acts as an racial equality fund and acts in two fronts:

Programs

Agbara Fund’s programs are aimed to promote the recovery of black women initiatives that were impacted by the COVID19 pandemic,through the creation of individual and collective income generation initiatives which are led by black women over 18.

The 2-month program includes two individual mentorship sessions for each participant, around 3 distinct abilities: Economic, intellectual and emotional autonomy.

Diversity consultancy
