Welcome to the Network of English-Speaking Women!

The Network was founded in 1993 with the goal of providing a forum for communication and exchange between English-speaking women in and around Freiburg, Germany. By putting women in contact with one another and encouraging the exchange of information and experience – both personal and professional – the Network offers fun and informative evenings in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

Supporting African Immigrants in Germany

German-Africa Insight, GAI e.V., is a non-profit organization based in Freiburg. It was set up in 2013 by businessman Joe Mmeh and the wellknown artist Emeka Udemba.
Their aim was to support the social, economic and political integration of African immigrants in Germany, to promote international understanding and to establish and implement sustainable development projects in Africa.
They undertake various activities to help young people with African roots, be it supporting refugees in their daily lives or helping young women with their vocational training and careers in Germany. They also support various innovative social projects in Africa involving ecological development and social justice. As a means of overcoming prejudice, the association is especially committed to raising awareness in Germany of the issues facing Africa and people of African heritage.
In 2022, GAI had the opportunity of visiting the village of Akwanteng in Ghana, one of the world’s biggest cocoa producing countries, where they made a film depicting the harsh realities of life as a cocoa farmer.
Financed by the EU Mindchangers project, the film wanted to highlight the context behind the new supply chain law which aims, among other things, to ensure better protection of human rights in global trade. There will also be additional information about fairtrade labelling on chocolate and the opportunity to taste a variety of fairtrade chocolate products.
