A powerful new tool is
transforming how the African
and Caribbean
diaspora approach money management. Wekeza,
now available on iOS
and Android,
merges multilingual education, accessible investing, and community-focused
support to make financial growth attainable for everyone.
Through its multilingual
financial
education program, Wekeza teaches users how to budget, save, build
credit, and invest with interactive lessons in English, French, Swahili,
Haitian Creole, Yoruba, Twi, Zulu, Hausa, and more—ensuring that learning is both
accessible and culturally meaningful.
On the investment
front, Wekeza removes traditional barriers with direct access to U.S. stocks
and ETFs starting at just $1 per month. By working with trusted
broker-dealers, the app delivers an affordable way to enter the world of
investing—without high fees or minimums.
The platform also
offers live town halls with licensed diaspora financial experts,
providing users with trusted advice and guidance from professionals who
understand their unique financial journeys.
Built on an award-winning
curriculum used by families, schools, and local governments, Wekeza extends
financial literacy to entire communities, fostering a generational shift in how
money is managed and wealth is built.
With bank-grade
security and a transparent approach, Wekeza ensures users’ financial
information stays safe while delivering real tools for growth.
More than just an
app, Wekeza is a movement—giving the African and Caribbean diaspora the
knowledge, access, and support needed to take control of their financial
futures.
