Who do we help? 

Target beneficiaries of Treasured are:
• Widows
• Less privileged women from families on low income
• Wives abandoned by their husbands or in difficult marriages
• Rehabilitated commercial sex workers. 

SUPPORT 

To improve the chances of loan repayment, Treasured offers bespoke enterprise support to its beneficiaries through:a. Monthly enterprise training e.g. in marketing, communication and time management, etc.b. Coaching and mentorship – e.g. regular 2-weekly meetings or as the needs arise via skype, WhatsApp and phone calls with mentors approved by the local Executive Team . c. Phone calls, occasional visits and networking events to assess the going concern of their businesses and review their repayment schedule.  
The events could consist of:• talks on selected topics• peer-to-peer support• wellbeing support.

LOANS 

Treasured provides small repayable loans to widows and other less privileged women across six locations in Nigeria and Ghana to start or grow viable businesses.

MENTORSHIP 

Together with our mentors, helpers and paid workers, our beneficiaries form a supportive community to help them navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and achieve their goals. So, Treasured is not just another microfinance or micro-credit project. 

WELFARE 

Although Treasured recognises the need for welfare support for its beneficiaries, it is not part of its services. To meet these, Treasured collaborates with partners/other NGOs with welfare aims. Beneficiaries with additional welfare needs should be signposted to such partners.
