AXA Mansard Investments Empowers 200 Working-Class Mothers Through Financial Literacy Initiative
In a bold step toward women’s financial empowerment, AXA Mansard Investments, a leading asset management firm under the global AXA Group, has provided training and support for 200 working-class mothers in Lagos through the sponsorship of The Mum Fund initiative.
The event, held in Lagos, offered workshops, mentorship, and practical financial education aimed at helping mothers take charge of their finances, start businesses, and thrive both at home and in the workplace.
Participants took part in a wide range of sessions, including:
• Budgeting and saving techniques
• Small business development
• Investment basics
• Balancing motherhood and career growth
The initiative was designed to equip mothers with long-term financial tools and the confidence to make better money decisions for themselves and their families.
“Our sponsorship of The Mum Fund aligns with our vision to help people live better lives through financial empowerment,” said Olubunmi Ekundare, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at AXA Mansard Investments.
“We believe mothers are the backbone of society. When we empower them, we uplift families and entire communities.”
The founder of The Mum Fund, Temi Ajibewa, expressed her appreciation for AXA Mansard’s involvement, noting that the event’s reach and impact were significantly expanded because of the partnership.
“This collaboration helped us deliver top-tier content and real value. The response from the mothers has been overwhelming,” she said.
For many of the women, the event was more than just a workshop it was a turning point.
“This experience has changed how I think about money and my future. I feel more in control now,”shared one participant.
Nigeria’s growing population of working mothers faces unique challenges juggling childcare, work responsibilities, and limited access to financial education. By investing in this demographic, AXA Mansard is contributing to a stronger, more resilient economy starting at the family level.
This initiative also reinforces the broader goal of financial inclusion, ensuring that more women—especially mothers—are not left behind in the nation’s economic growth.
AXA Mansard’s involvement in The Mum Fund highlights a growing trend of corporate social responsibility efforts targeting women’s empowerment in Nigeria. The success of this event suggests that similar programs could be scaled nationwide to impact even more mothers and families.
