The Equity Group Foundation champions the unrelenting efforts of low-income Africans to transform their lives and livelihoods. It connects women, farmers, small business owners and youth to educational, health and economic opportunities, and technologies that enable personal progress and wealth creation in the face of poverty.
Equity Group Foundation recognizes women as critical to the success of the company and thus supports their development through gender diversity interventions. The initiative, Equity Inspire Program (EQUIP) was coined to inspire all staff within Equity to realize their full potential program and to drive equal representation in leadership positions between the two genders.
In their workforce, the Group has a staff ratio of 44% to 56% women to men and three to four women to men in the Group Holdings board ,this shows almost an equal parity representation. This mix gives the board the benefit of diversity of opinions and representation. In addition ,they have women occupying central positions such as the Group Executive Director, Group Communications Director, Group HR Director, Executive Chair of the Technology Initiative, Managing Director of Equity Group Foundation International (EGFI) amongst others.
