The 2Inspire Network is proud to announce that
Hazel Chawapiwa has been shortlisted for a Women4Africa Award in the “Role
Model of The Year” Category. The 2Inspire Network was launched in 2012 with its
inaugural Ladies Day at The Crowne Plaza Docklands. This year will see the
return of the 2Inspire Ladies Day on March 9th with the launch of
the 2Inspire Academy; a personal development and life-skills programme
for young people aged 16-21.
Hazel
Chawapiwa was born in the UK in the mid-70s but originates from Zimbabwe. She
is a passionate business woman who started her first business in 1999 whilst
studying at University. Hazel often says the financial strains of being a young
single mother and a student was the motivation for her to start her own
business. A redundancy and the need to raise a deposit to get on the property
ladder led to her becoming involved in a number of business ventures one of
them being an events company which she started with an old time friend. It was
a successful venture and it was during this period that she realised that
working full-time was suppressing her entrepreneurial spirit.
The 2inspire network was launched in May of 2012, “Empowering individuals and helping them to realise their potential is something that I am passionate about. I believe that women should work together and support each other on their journeys, this belief is the foundation of the network, an organisation that provides forums and platforms that help to empower, promote and inspire women” says Founder Hazel Chawapiwa.
Women4africa
is a UK registered organisation focused on celebrating and
empowering Africa and its women by supporting and celebrating their

Women4Africa Awards will take place on May 18th at the Great Hall in
Kensington.
