Our Special Commitment to Women

Our banking units drive a strategic commitment to empowering women — the historical backbone of the family and the African economic fabric. We firmly believe in women’s unique role in wealth creation and poverty alleviation. Our corporate mission is to provide them with the financial tools necessary to become the primary architects of their socio-economic destiny.

The MUFFA Network: Urban Financial Inclusion

To turn this conviction into tangible action, our Group designed the MUFFA (Mutuelles Financières des Femmes Africaines) framework. Operating as the urban and peri-urban counterpart to the MC2 model, this specialized network of development microbanks caters specifically to low-income women and female entrepreneurs in the informal sector.

The core missions of the MUFFA network are built upon three main pillars:

• Financial Accessibility: offering tailored, accessible banking services designed for the realities of the urban informal economy.
• Job Creation: providing micro-loans to trigger and sustain revenue-generating micro-activities.
• Sustainable Autonomy: supporting female entrepreneurs as they scale their businesses and foster local development.

Through this targeted ecosystem, Afriland First Group unlocks the entrepreneurial potential of women, turning it into a powerful engine for economic growth and social cohesion across our cities.
