Information Session : Tunisian Diaspora in Germany & Europe
Living in Germany or elsewhere in Europe often means maintaining a strong connection with Tunisia, with your family, your friends, your loved ones.
It means wanting to support them, to help, to stay present despite the distance.
Today, there is a way to make that support even more impactful, more structured, and more sustainable.
In this context, WIDU.africa, in collaboration with the Embassy of Tunisia in Germany, is organizing an information session dedicated to the Tunisian diaspora in Germany and across Europe.

WIDU.africa: Turning your support into opportunity
WIDU.africa offers an innovative approach to supporting entrepreneurs in Tunisia by building on the trust-based relationships between diaspora members and their loved ones back home.
The concept is simple: you support a relative or friend with an entrepreneurial project, and your financial contribution can be matched with a grant from the WIDU programme.
At the same time, your partner benefits from professional technical support, helping them structure, grow, and sustain their business activity.
Your support is no longer limited to one-time assistance; it becomes a real investment to promote their autonomy and contribute to the sustainability of their entrepreneurial project.
Why attend this session?
This session will help you understand how you can concretely support a loved one in Tunisia in developing their business.
You will learn how the program works, the participation requirements, and the steps to get involved. Real-life examples and testimonials will also illustrate the tangible impact of the program.
