Financial literacy and
access to investing tools are no longer privileges—they’re necessities. Wekeza,
now available for iOS
and Android,
is bridging the gap for the African
and Caribbean
diaspora with a platform that blends education, investing, and
community-driven support.
At the heart of Wekeza
is its multilingual financial
education program, featuring interactive lessons in English, French,
Swahili, Haitian Creole, Yoruba, Twi, Zulu, Hausa, and more. Users can master
budgeting, saving, credit-building, and investing—all within a culturally
relevant framework tailored to their unique experiences.
Investing is made
simple and affordable with direct access to U.S. stocks and ETFs starting
from just $1 a month. By partnering with trusted broker-dealers, Wekeza
eliminates barriers like high minimums and hidden fees, opening doors for
everyday people to grow their wealth.
Adding a personal
touch, live town halls with licensed diaspora financial experts connect
users to professionals who truly understand their communities’ challenges and
aspirations, offering actionable advice and insights.
Wekeza’s reach goes
beyond individuals. With its award-winning curriculum for families, schools,
and communities, trusted by educators and local governments, the app is
cultivating financial literacy across generations.
Security and trust
remain central to Wekeza’s mission. Backed by bank-grade security, the
platform ensures a safe and transparent environment for users to learn and
invest with confidence.
By combining
education, opportunity, and community, Wekeza is redefining financial
empowerment—helping the diaspora take charge of their financial future, one
step at a time.
