About | HER Group

The space for the woman who knows she can!

THE HER STORY

HER Working Women has been a journey of growth, empowerment, and connection. In 2019, our founder, Dr. Nataliey Bitature, noticed a recurring theme, many young women reaching out to her were seeking the same guidance and support. To address this, she started a WhatsApp group to foster engagement and build a community.

What began with just 80 women quickly grew to 200, highlighting the need for a larger platform. In May 2020, we transitioned to a private Facebook group, “HER - A Business and Career Development Community for African Women,” to create a safe space for women to share, learn, and grow. Within just four months, our membership soared to 2,000 women, and today, we proudly stand at 3,700 members.

HER Working Women Growth

HER Working Women has expanded beyond borders, with active chapters in Jinja, Mbarara, and even Dubai. These chapters host events, workshops, and networking opportunities, ensuring that women from diverse regions can connect and thrive.

In 2024, we launched HER Finance SACCO, a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower women financially. Starting with savings as the foundation, we’ve introduced loans and financial literacy training to help women plan, save, and grow their wealth. Today, HER Finance SACCO has over 200 members, each taking steps toward financial independence and resilience.

This community is more than just a group, it’s a movement. It’s a space where women uplift each other, break barriers, and redefine what’s possible. Together, we’re building a future where African women can lead, innovate, and inspire.

THE HER STORY

In 2019, Our founder, Dr Nataliey, realised that most young women who reached out to her were seeking the same information and support. The first step to solving this challenge was to open a WhatsApp group for them to engage better and build a community.

From a membership of 80 women in the group, we grew to 200 which pointed out the need to expand and allow room for new members to join. We therefore moved to a private Facebook community called “HER-A Business and Career Development Community for African Women” in May 2020. The reason it was private was to create a safe space for women to speak freely and to learn from other like-minded women. In only 4 months, we grew to a total of 2000 African women, and we are at 3,700 today.

Empowerment is tied to limitless access to opportunities like education, profession and lifestyle. This provides knowledge and clarity in decision-making, which in turn raises the status of women. That way, they can support each other, while providing life-determining decisions to the different problems in society world wide.
