Lagos – September 25, 2025.
Shecluded, Nigeria’s leading platform for women’s financial empowerment, has successfully trained 133 women across Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Anambra, and Kaduna States under the Advancing Nutrition Through Female-Led Food Processing (ANTFem) program. The ANTFem program is led by the Food Health Systems Advisory (FHSA), with Shecluded serving as an implementing partner.
This milestone reflects Shecluded’s role in advancing FHSA’s vision of inclusive growth by equipping female-led businesses with financial knowledge and practical tools to strengthen their businesses and communities.
The financial literacy training covered budgeting, savings, credit management, and investment strategies-helping women gain confidence in making informed financial decisions that directly impact their households and local economies.
“Shecluded was founded on the belief that women deserve the freedom and knowledge to take charge of their finances,” said Omozele Okojie, Program Manager at Shecluded. “Through our partnership with FHSA on the ANTFem program, we are proud to see women not only improve their money management skills but also build resilience that benefits their families and communities.”
For many women, this was their first structured exposure to financial education. Participants have already started leveraging Shecluded’s wider ecosystem of digital tools, finance, and mentorship opportunities-demonstrating that this initiative goes beyond one-time training to spark long-term impact.
Vivian Maduekeh , Managing Partner at FHSA, added: “At FHSA, we believe that empowering women is central to transforming Africa’s food systems. Through the ANTFem program, we’re not just building businesses, we’re building healthier communities. Partnering with Shecluded has allowed us to reach women where they are, with tools that truly make a difference.”
The ANTFem program, driven by FHSA and implemented by Shecluded in this phase, underscores the shared mission of both organizations to unlock women’s potential as drivers of economic transformation.
