Wema Bank, known for its innovation and commitment to digital banking, has partnered with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.
Together, they have launched an initiative that will change the lives of women across Nigeria.
Through its women-focused platform, SARA by Wema, the bank has introduced the MOWA x SARA Accelerator Programme.
This two-year program aims to equip 500,000 women with vocational and business skills, promoting economic independence.
SARA by Wema is an initiative to promote gender equality and provide women with financial and personal growth opportunities.
Thousands of women across Nigeria have already benefited from SARA, receiving financial support, networking opportunities, and even healthcare benefits.
Now, with the MOWA x SARA Accelerator Programme, Wema Bank is taking its efforts even further by reaching more women in need.
The program, which will run in all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, offers training in two key areas: business management and vocational skills.
