Ginger is teaming up with FCMB SheVentures to launch Built to Last, a year-long programme to help women-led beauty businesses across Nigeria grow stronger, learn new skills, and prepare to advance to the next stage, such as scaling, formalising operations, or accessing funding opportunities.
If you run a beauty or personal care business, this programme is for you.
We’ll help you build a business that lasts, with practical training, support to formalise your business, financial know-how, and better access to digital tools.
Ginger connects beauty businesses with trusted suppliers and provides access to tools such as financing, logistics, and inventory management.
Thousands of beauty entrepreneurs already use Ginger to find the right products and keep their businesses running smoothly.
By working together, Ginger and SheVentures are making it easier for women-led beauty businesses to get the support, funding, and guidance they need to grow.
Speaking on the collaboration, Founder & CEO of Ginger, Ejiro Enaohwo, said, “The women powering the beauty economy already have the demand, the discipline, and the customer trust.
What they have not always had are the systems that recognise their businesses as investable and scalable.
This partnership is about building those systems.”
This partnership is part of our ongoing commitment to help women entrepreneurs succeed and drive inclusive growth.
“At SheVentures, we believe empowering women entrepreneurs is one of the fastest ways to drive sustainable economic development.
Through our initiatives, we have provided funding, training and mentorship to thousands of women-owned businesses across Nigeria.
Built to Last represents another step forward in equipping female entrepreneurs—particularly in the beauty sector—with the knowledge, capital readiness and networks they need to scale their businesses successfully.”
Women are at the heart of Africa’s beauty industry, but many still lack access to the training, support, and funding they need. Built to Last is here to help change that.
By bringing together Ginger’s experience in the beauty trade and our financial know-how, we’re building real support for beauty entrepreneurs to grow their businesses for the long term.
