Our Story
Mentors and their matched mentees celebrating the completion of their successful Professional Mentoring Program journey | 2023
Eliane de Sousa, Founder & Executive Director of Femme Incroyable, speaking at our event in Brussels.
Femme Incroyable officially began in 2020 with a pilot project in Angola, Incrível Mulher. Our early initiatives focused on empowering young women from vulnerable backgrounds through professional mentoring, women’s empowerment events, entrepreneurship and leadership workshops, and domestic violence awareness campaigns.
Building on our success in Angola, we established Femme Incroyable as a non-profit association in Belgium in 2024, enabling us to expand our mission and reach. Today, we support women and girls in Belgium and across Portuguese-speaking African countries, where opportunities are often more limited compared to English- or French-speaking countries in Africa.
With continued support, we can scale our programs, provide even more women with access to education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship opportunities, and create lasting, sustainable change.
