Empowering Women Artisans in Emerging Communities Through Financial Literacy & Enterprise

Hertisan is a gamified, AI-powered learning program that turns underserved Nigerian women artisans into confident entrepreneurs; one game, one grant, one goal at a time.

Our Story

Across Nigeria, millions of women in rural communities work tirelessly in micro-trades to support their families. Yet many lack the financial knowledge and tools to grow sustainable businesses. Misunderstood pricing, poor record keeping, and lack of savings often lead to business collapse, reinforcing cycles of poverty, dependency, and exclusion.

Hertisan exists to change that.We are reimagining how underserved women learn, grow, and rise — by delivering business education that’s accessible, gamified, and relevant to their lives.
