From Giving to Growing

TWYIF brings together philanthropic, corporate and development capital to finance women- and youth-led enterprises in Nigeria. Through structured financing, enterprise support and revolving funds, we turn contributions into lasting economic opportunity.

Partner With TWYIFHow It Works

The Opportunity

Nigeria has a strong tradition of giving, yet much of this support remains fragmented and short-term. At the same time, millions of women and young people lack access to the finance, skills and markets needed to build sustainable livelihoods. TWYIF provides a structured way to channel this generosity into lasting economic opportunity.

The TWYIF Solution

TWYIF pools contributions and channels them into enterprise financing, skills development and market access. Where financing is recoverable, repayments are recycled to support additional enterprises and communities.

How It Works — At a Glance

  1. Mobilise

    Pool capital from contributors and partners

  2. Finance & Support

    Invest in enterprises, skills and market access

  3. Recover

    Return recoverable funding to the pool

  4. Reinvest

    Finance the next group of enterprises

Only recoverable financing revolves. Grant-funded interventions are not expected to generate repayments.

How TWYIF Works

What Makes TWYIF Different

Revolving finance

Recoverable funding is reused to reach more enterprises.

Cluster-based delivery

Support is organised through communities, cooperatives and enterprise groups.

Pathways to growth

Financing is combined with enterprise development and access to markets and formal finance.

Impact in View

TWYIF is developing programmes to expand sustainable enterprise and livelihood opportunities for women and young people, particularly in underserved communities. Our impact framework will track financing, enterprise growth and economic outcomes as programmes launch.
