Our Journey:

We exist to promote the growth and success of African businesses in Footscray, ensuring that every trader has the opportunity to succeed. Our mission is to bridge cultures through commerce, bringing a slice of Africa to Australia.

Our Impact:

Through our association, we’ve seen businesses flourish, friendships form, and cultural barriers dissolve. We take pride in contributing to Footscray’s reputation as a cultural melting pot, where diversity is not just accepted but celebrated.
