Our CEO, Mrs. Mary Abazu of Maytrust Microlending, had the privilege of meeting and engaging with Chief Dr. Mrs. Chinwe Ezenwa at the ImpactHER African Women Global Sustainability Conference.

Chief Dr. Mrs. Chinwe Ezenwa is widely celebrated as the first female entrepreneur to export goods across Africa — a remarkable achievement that continues to inspire generations of women in business and leadership.

At 75 years of age, she remains vibrant, impactful, and deeply committed to empowering others. Her story is a powerful reminder that age is never a barrier to purpose, excellence, and influence. Through her resilience, innovation, and dedication to entrepreneurship, she has become a true symbol of strength and visionary leadership across the continent.

Speaking after the conference, our CEO described the experience as both inspiring and motivating, emphasizing the importance of learning from trailblazers who have paved the way for African women in business.

The ImpactHER African Women Global Sustainability Conference brought together influential women leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers committed to driving sustainable growth, innovation, and empowerment across Africa. The event served as a platform for collaboration, mentorship, and meaningful conversations about the future of women-led enterprises.

At Maytrust Microlending, we remain committed to supporting and empowering entrepreneurs, especially women, by providing financial solutions that foster growth, independence, and sustainable impact.

We celebrate women like Chief Dr. Mrs. Chinwe Ezenwa whose legacy continues to inspire excellence, courage, and transformational leadership.
