Kathleen Erhimu from Kudimata, Nigeria, and Kudimata Capital says teaching people how money works is the best weapon for lifting up women and kids while fixing the country's economy long-term. She threw a big event where government ministers, regulators from the SEC and CAC, plus banking executives all showed up to back her three-year push that's already reached 1.4 million Nigerians through training programs.
The company just launched a licensed portfolio management arm to help people actually invest their cash instead of just learning theory, and they dropped financial education books plus audio lessons in Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Urhobo, and Pidgin to hit everyone regardless of what language they speak. Over 250,000 women got support through the EmpowerHER program, while 30,000 entrepreneurs learned business basics and got help registering their companies officially.
Erhimu said the whole operation ties into the president's development agenda, and she's planning to crank up multilingual digital platforms while partnering with more government agencies to spread investment access nationwide.
