M-Pesa Foundation Launches ‘Wezesha Mama’ Initiative in Greater Western Region To Empower Women Entrepreneurs

M-Pesa Foundation has officially launched Wezesha Mama in the Greater Western region, a transformative programme designed to empower women through entrepreneurship training, digital tools, and financial literacy.

The launch signals the Foundation’s deepened commitment to supporting women at the grassroots level, providing them with the necessary skills and resources to not only survive but to truly thrive in the modern economy.

“This isn’t just an initiative—it’s a long-term investment in the future of women in this region. By equipping them with the tools to build and sustain their businesses, Wezesha Mama is fostering a new wave of confident, capable entrepreneurs who will transform their communities from the ground up,” said a representative from the M-Pesa Foundation.

Through strategic partnerships, Wezesha Mama will offer hands-on training, mentorship, and access to digital platforms to women across the Greater Western region, helping them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and unlock their full potential.

The programme aligns with the Foundation’s broader vision of inclusive growth and community resilience, and its launch is expected to catalyze sustainable development, job creation, and financial independence for women in the area.

As the initiative rolls out, the M-Pesa Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing deeper partnerships that place women at the heart of economic progress—celebrating their strength, supporting their ambition, and investing directly in their futures.
