Wema Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment by announcing a ₦2 million business grant through its women-focused platform, SARA by Wema, in partnership with the SheCan Conference.
The announcement comes ahead of SheCan 6.0, scheduled to hold on Friday, July 18, 2025, at Balmoral, Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, where over 7,000 women are expected to gather under the theme “SheCan Do More.”
The grant will support women-led small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) within the SARA Community, helping them scale their businesses and increase impact.
Beyond financial support, SARA by Wema also offers beneficiaries business advisory services, personal development tools, and access to relevant networks.
