Empower Locals is a brand dedicated to providing support and opportunities for underserved individuals in local communities. With a mission to empower locals, they offer a range of products and services aimed at improving economic and social freedom. One of their key offerings is the Business School for Locals, which provides anyone with the opportunity to lend, fund, and train underserved people in local businesses.

Through this program, they aim to support disadvantaged individuals in starting or scaling their own businesses, offering them essential business training, technical support, and interest-free loans pooled from the public. Empower Locals addresses the issue of financial deprivation, particularly among low-income individuals, with a focus on women, who often face limited access to loans with heavy interest rates. They aim to bridge this gap by offering innovative solutions such as mobile business training for small businesses.

This community-based training system is delivered locally, and enrollment is a prerequisite for raising or receiving loans. The training fee is affordable, starting as low as $2 (N1,000), and can even be financed through a loan. To ensure seamless and user-friendly experiences, Empower Locals is committed to keeping their donation and loan repayment systems simple and easy.

They are working with a design team called Easy D to develop their own straightforward funding systems, both online and offline. Join Empower Locals in their mission to support local businesses and empower underserved individuals in local communities. Together, we can create a more inclusive and prosperous society.
