Collective Action for Lasting Change

Together for Prosperity (TfP) is a community-based initiative designed to improve the livelihoods and dignity of women in low-income households across Nigeria. We work with women’s savings groups and cooperative societies in low-income communities to promote their participation in the informal labour market through microentrepreneurship. Her Advantage leverages the collective strength of women’s groups to provide financial literacy training, facilitate access to financial resources, and provide a strong support system of mentors and peers.
Although resourceful and hardworking, these women are often excluded from economic opportunities that could help them grow their businesses and improve their wellbeing. TfP aims to address this marginalization by economically empowering women, lifting them out of poverty, and building stronger and more resilient families.

Our Multi-Pronged Approach

    Build Capacity: Provide training, mentorship, and business development skills to strengthen women’s confidence and entrepreneurial abilities.

    Expand Access: Facilitate access to microfinance and tailored financial services to support the growth of women-led microenterprises.

    Foster Leadership: Encourage women to take on leadership roles and make informed economic decisions within their communities.

    Promote Solidarity: Strengthen community bonds by helping women pool resources, share experiences, and support each other. Also, connect women with mentors who can offer guidance, encouragement and valuable insights to help women achieve their financial goals.

A Structured Model for Enterprise Growth and Financial Inclusion

Together for Prosperity (TFP) is the flagship programme of Her Advantage Initiative.
It is a community-based enterprise development and financing model designed to support low-income women entrepreneurs in underserved communities. TFP works by organizing women into cooperative structures, equipping them with enterprise and financial capabilities, and linking them to structured capital and financial systems.
The goal is not just access, but the ability to build sustainable, income-generating businesses over time.
