Shecluded ‘One Woman, One Laptop’ Initiative for Women Entrepreneurs in Nigeria

Applications are open for the Shecluded One Woman, One Laptop Initiative, which seeks to provide laptops and upskilling to women entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

The Shecluded Covid-19 Rebuild Initiative was designed to support women-led businesses affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the increased need for work skills and digital learning — factors that might affect the income prospect of more women if they do not have adequate tools for work- such as a laptop. Inadequate tools lead to reduced productivity and declining financial performance.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Shecluded worked with different partners to upskill over 600 women on voice over artistry, graphic design, and development of online courses. In the process, a survey was carried out to find out the percentage of women who owned laptops, the result showed that approximately 65% of women who took the survey did not own a functional laptop and would often depend on their mobile phones for tasks that could be done better on a laptop.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Applications are open to women-led businesses that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Businesses or individuals must be registered on the Shecluded platform.
  • Applicants must own a business, enterprise or job that generates about N150k monthly.
  • The business must be in operation.

Benefits

  • Applicants will get access to a maximum of N200,000 on the laptop loan.
  • Women who would want to own a personal computer and pay back monthly will get the chance to and can benefit from Shecluded’s virtual classes on how to use a computer.
