The Story Behind Sheadvance
The journey of Sheadvance began with a simple but profound observation:
many women in my community were held back financially, not because they lacked ambition, but because of a digital and financial knowledge gap. I saw an opportunity to change this — to bridge the divide. I also realized that the training women needed already existed online in abundance; the real challenge was access, guidance, and support.
Sheadvance was born to be that bridge. We connect women to the right digital and financial literacy programs and walk with them every step of the way, ensuring they have the mentorship and encouragement to succeed. My vision is to empower African women — starting from Nigeria — with the knowledge and skills to unlock opportunities, achieve financial independence, and drive economic growth.
