The initiative aims to encourage the public to nominate women-owned businesses through a registration link (see Tweet above). These businesses will then be uploaded and identified on Waze. Users of the app will see these businesses clearly indicated along frequently used travel routes, allowing them to recognise and potentially support the female entrepreneurs.
“We see these women as the backbone of the SA economy, actively contributing to society, but we’re not sure where to find them and if we don’t know, neither does the consumer who would like to support them,” said Charlotte Nsubuga-Mukasa, Head of Brand Marketing at Momentum.

“For us, the solution was to publish on Waze, with more than 800 000 local users, to drive recognition of the determination, ingenuity, and acumen of female entrepreneurs and in doing so, facilitate the support and recognition of these entrepreneurs.”
Nsubuga-Mukasa added: “We want to actively help bring new customers through their doors and challenge consumers to also play their part by telling us about other women-owned businesses that we should know of and support.”
The campaign forms part of Momentum’s annual She Owns Her Success Campaign, a 4-year journey that provides of tools and advice to empower women.
