About Purse on Point
Formed in 2019, and having trained over 6000 women in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda and South Arica, Purse on Point Africa seeks to foster the economic prosperity of women in Africa by providing financial literacy & entrepreneurship training, and building a network of like-minded female entrepreneurs committed to growing their enterprises in a sustainable and socially responsible manner.

Our Vision
A world where empowerment and financial inclusion prevail.
We envision a world where empowerment and financial inclusion are not just ideals but everyday realities. A world where individuals especially those from underserved communities, have the knowledge, resources, and opportunities to build thriving businesses, secure financial stability, and create generational wealth.
We believe that access to technology, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy training can unlock potential and transform lives. By providing the right tools and support, we are shaping a future where women-regardless of background-can participate in and benefit from the global economy.
