About

Vaka is a community-led platform empowering Black African and Black British women in the UK construction industry. Through structured mentorship, visibility, and advocacy, Vaka builds a supportive sisterhood that uplifts women navigating careers, caregiving, and cultural identity in a male-dominated field. The site will showcase our mission, spotlight our founding mentors and mentees, promote events, share personal stories, and encourage support for causes like ending period poverty in Zimbabwe.
