We exist to INSPIRE, EQUIP and SUPPORT midlife women (35-60 yrs) to grow and succeed in life!

Welcome to Midlife Women Africa. A home for African middle aged women by a fellow African midlife woman. Created to help women in midlife defeat stereotypes and negative myths associated with aging and rise up to create a life they truly love and feel fulfilled in at any age.

Midlife and its associated challenges is not one of the favourite topics in the streets of Africa. Especially when it touches women and their reproductive health issues like menopause. People would rather bury their heads in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.

Midlife however, is a transitional phase of life just like any other e.g. adolescence, getting married, changing jobs, relocating to a new country, retirement, etc. As such it involves an the same kind (if not more) discomfort and emotional strain to navigate successfully.

While there are lots of advice and guidance on how to handle other major life transitions, there's barely enough on how to handle the midlife transition. And where the information is available, it is mostly negative stereotypes that demonize this phase of life and therefore make people shy away from acknowledging when they are undergoing the challenges associated with midlife. Also most information is based on western world experiences and thus most African women can not relate.

At Midlife Women Africa, we believe that midlife phase deserves as much attention as any other important transitional stage in life. We raise awareness in women about the possible disruptions this phase may pose and how to navigate them with boldness and self confidence. We then localize the experiences to the African woman's specific challenges. We also encourage and provide an avenue for women to speak up and seek help if this transition is weighing heavily on them.

We also advocate for the positive side of the midlife phase in women and train women on how to tap into those opportunities and redesign a magnificent life for themselves.

Our mission inspire, equip and support midlife women to break free from stagnation and uncover their true passions, purpose and potential.

We exist to remind women that they are not an object on sale with an expiry date stamped "Best before 40 years". Instead we remind them "Life begins at 40!" You don't lose your beauty as you age, you become more beautiful on the inside. You don't lose your relevance as you age, you become more essential to the society. A mentor and a guide to the young women coming behind you. A pillar to your family, church and the community at large. Your post-reproductive life is in no way less significant than any other life you lived before. When you stop making babies, be ready to make solutions to revolutionize the human race.

Midlife is not a time for dwindling out or plunging into a crisis but a time for self-discovery, reinvention, massive growth and success.
