“Can a pan-African nonprofit close the gender gap in Web3 by training the next generation of women builders?”
Women in DeFi is a Lagos-based nonprofit founded in 2022 by Sarah Idahosa to bridge the gender gap in Web3 across Africa. It operates as an educational and community organization — running skill-up cohorts, chapters, and an annual summit — rather than as a financial product. Its 'embedded finance' surface is limited to donation collection (crypto USDT/USDC and a Nigerian bank account).
WomenInDeFi was founded by Sarah Idahosa and is founded in 2022, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.
