FinTribe: Empowering 500,000 Women to Build Wealth 

The Founder of FinTribe, Jennifer Awirigwe

FinTribe, a women-led financial empowerment platform founded in Lagos by Jennifer Awirigwe in 2021, has become one of Africa’s largest movements for women in wealth creation. The platform has already supported over 500,000 women across 35 countries, helping them save, invest, and build long-term assets. 

Awirigwe’s vision was born out of a painful reality: more than 80% of African women are financially illiterate. “I wanted to build what I wish existed for my younger self: a safe community where women could learn, save, and invest confidently,” she said. 

How FinTribe Works 

Unlike many fintech platforms that focus only on transactions, FinTribe emphasizes transformation through: 

Financial Education: Through its Wealth Builders Academy, over 4,000 women have been trained to understand money management. 

Savings & Investment Tools: Members have collectively saved and invested over $4 million within three years. 

Community Support: The platform provides mentorship, accountability partners, and goal-based savings to help women stay committed. 

Real Estate Access: FinTribe Estate has enabled nearly 100 women to own property for the first time, turning land ownership into a reality for many. 

“FinTribe is not just a finance platform; it’s a movement. We’re rewriting the financial story of African women, one savings plan, one investment, one empowered woman at a time.” — Jennifer Awirigwe
