The Upside of Working and Earning Remotely: Freedom, Flexibility & Global Paychecks

 The world of work is changing—and for women across Africa and beyond, this shift is opening new doors.




Remote work isn’t just a trend; it’s a transformation. It’s changing how we show up, how we earn, and how we build lives that reflect our full potential. At SkillHer, we believe in helping women tap into that power—and it starts with understanding just how much upside there is to working and earning remotely.

Here’s what makes remote work a game-changer:

1. Access to Global Opportunities

You’re no longer limited by geography. With the right skills and mindset, a woman in Ibadan can work for a startup in Berlin or a nonprofit in Toronto. Remote work removes borders and connects you to clients, companies, and collaborators around the world.

2. Flexibility That Fits Your Life

Whether you're a student, a mum, a caregiver, or simply someone building multiple passions, remote work gives you back control of your time. You can structure your day to work when you’re most productive, not just when the office is open.

3. Better Earning Potential

Remote roles—especially those tied to global companies—often pay better than local equivalents. That means more financial freedom, greater stability, and the ability to invest in your growth and your goals.

4. Less Commute, More Balance

No traffic jams. No hours lost to commuting. Working remotely gives you the chance to create a more balanced, intentional lifestyle. More time for wellness. More space for learning. More energy for what matters most.

5. Growth-Driven Culture

Remote teams often rely on tools, transparency, and communication. That means you naturally build digital skills, autonomy, and adaptability—traits that are essential in today’s evolving workforce.


At SkillHer, we’re committed to helping women learn the skills, build the confidence, and find the pathways to thrive in this new world of work. Remote work isn’t just a job type—it’s a tool for freedom, income, and impact.

Ready to explore your own remote career journey? Start now. Your future can be global.

This SkillHer event was held via Google Meets, increasing accessibility and inclusivity. Key Takeaways from the Session: The Power of Preventive Care  Participants were introduced to the importance of preventive health measures rather than waiting for illness to strike.
