When you lift up a woman, you lift up her family, her children, her community and the economy that she’s in.

She believes that financial inclusion for all women and girls can be attained and that their talents and skills deserve to be discovered, seen and recognised.
“The pandemic has hit hardest on women. I keep asking myself – how can I help? I wanted to initiate a women empowerment movement that will make a real sustainable impact. So, I founded Lift Women – a platform that combines the beauty of financial technology and human touch, dedicated for women-led businesses to showcase their products, tell their stories, and raise the fund they need to bring their dreams to life. Together we will build a strong women founders community and ecosystem to inspire, support and empower each other.
“We want to make funding accessible and affordable for all women and girls. What’s more, we are changing the narrative of fundraising. we want to make it cool and fun, so together we can empower and uplift women to start their own businesses and be the best that they can be! Now more than ever, we need a call for unity, financial inclusion and support for women. Lift Women wants to spearhead this change, and become all women and girls’ safe go-to place, to connect, back each other up and cheer each other on.”
