Pehtrah Foundation has disclosed plans to empower 100,000 women by 2030 with AI-driven health and finance solutions.

This is as the foundation has released its 2024 Brand Review Report, showcasing a year of growth, strategic partnerships, and innovation-driven solutions that are shaping the future of financial inclusion and healthcare access for women and children across Africa.

Founded in 2018, Pehtrah Foundation has evolved from traditional charitable interventions into a social investment powerhouse, creating scalable ventures such as Argon Capital—providing accessible credit and digital wallets to underserved women—and Measured Health, an AI-powered healthcare platform now active in Nigeria, Namibia, and India.

Ayowole Delegan, the outgoing CEO who led the foundation for six years, reflected on this evolution: “What began as a mission to serve women and children has grown into a platform driving innovation, inclusion, and measurable impact. As I hand over leadership, I do so with pride in our progress and deep gratitude to our partners, team, and communities.

In 2024 alone, Pehtrah expanded financial services to women (traders & fashion designers), targeting a larger audience in 2025 through technology and community outreach, and piloted AI health solutions in clinics to cut wait times, improve diagnoses, and connect patients to timely treatment.

The foundation also secured strategic partnerships and dual registration in the US, in bid to unlock new funding opportunities and we see enhance global credibility.

Under new CEO Folayemi Delegan, the Foundation has set a bold vision: growing from just over 100 women reached in 2024 to 100,000 women by 2030.

“Our mission is simple yet bold—empower women and children with the tools to thrive, using innovation as our engine,” she said.

“This report is both a reflection of our progress and an open invitation to partners who believe in building sustainable systems for social change.”

The 2024 Brand Review details how Pehtrah is tackling systemic issues, financial exclusion, healthcare gaps, and economic vulnerability, through investment-focused models that deliver measurable returns for communities and investors alike.

Pehtrah Foundation is actively seeking strategic partners, social impact investors, and philanthropic collaborators to join its mission of scaling impact across Africa. The Foundation noted that its 2024 Annual Report, available on its website, provides full details of these milestones and invites stakeholders to explore opportunities for collaboration.
