This will enable women and girls across Africa to easily manage their businesses, access loans, and gain valuable tech skills – all in one place.”

According to him, the company provides easy-to-use tools like automated invoicing, payment processing, and online storefronts, helping women manage and grow their businesses.

“The platform offers courses on digital marketing, web design, and data analysis, giving young girls and women the skills they need to be competitive in today’s job market. Hermplify offers soft loans and financial services to help women entrepreneurs start and expand their businesses.
