Empower Her
Empowering women to own their financial stories and build thriving businesses.
Too many women work tirelessly, yet remain excluded from financial opportunities and visibility. Empower Her bridges that gap through two transformative bootcamp programmes – designed to help women understand money, grow businesses, and secure generational wealth.
About the Programme
Empower Her is a dual empowerment programme co-created by Connecting Stories, and her change allies.
Delivered in hybrid format (UK in-person + EMEA virtual), these bootcamps equip 200–300 underrepresented women with the tools, confidence, and mentorship to take charge of their finances and launch sustainable businesses.
Programmes:
Q2 2026 (Feb–June)
Financial Literacy Bootcamp – “Protection & Planning: Secure Your Financial Foundation”
Q3 2026 (September–November)
Entrepreneurship Bootcamp – “Growth & Entrepreneurship: Start, Grow, Invest”
Why it Matters:
Financial literacy and entrepreneurship are powerful equalisers. With access to the right knowledge, community, and mentorship, women can make informed money decisions, build resilient businesses, and shape their economic futures.
