Oxygen X Finance Company, a digital lending platform and subsidiary of Access Holdings, has teamed up with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to support women in underserved communities in Agege. The partnership aims to boost women’s economic empowerment and financial inclusion through a sustainable backyard farming program.
The initiative provides participants with poultry farming resources, including cages, chicks, feeders, antibiotics, and multivitamins, giving them the tools to generate consistent income. Beyond materials, beneficiaries also receive financial literacy and credit education, covering business management, responsible borrowing, and strategies for scaling their ventures.
Speaking on the initiative, Emmanuella Awogu, Brand Manager and Acting Head of Marketing at Oxygen X, said: “Financial inclusion goes beyond access to credit. By combining practical business tools with financial education, we are enabling women to build sustainable livelihoods and strengthen their communities.”
