With a mission to equip women with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in their businesses and provide essential financial literacy and support, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Enterprise Growth and Opportunities (EGO) Foundation, has equipped over 2,500 women on financial literacy through its SheEnabled project in Ilorin, Kwara State, and Benin City, Edo State.
The Executive Director of EGO Foundation, Toluwase Olaniyan, revealed that the team and volunteers visited bustling commercial markets where they distributed and explained locally translated, easy to read pamphlets, titled, ‘Bookkeeping Made easy,’ designed to help business women keep track of their sales and stock. 
Olaniyan noted that a significant number of market women do not maintain accurate records of their sales and stock, as this lack of essential information can present challenges when they require funds to enhance and grow their businesses.
He said: “In partnership with Access Bank and Worden HCD, our discussions were focused on how maintaining good record-keeping practices can enable business women to access grants and loans to boost their trade.”
Olaniyan stressed that the introduction of a business grant pitch, enabling beneficiaries to access business grants, with many others winning instant cash prizes, were parts of the initiative.”
