The Problem
There are many underserved women and girls in Nigeria that lack basic income-generating and leadership skills as a result of early marriage, sudden loss of spouse, gender based violence, insufficient mentorship opportunities and lack of basic life skills thereby shrinking their possibilities to becoming self-sufficient. Values:

Empowerment: When people are empowered, they find creative ways to resolve their own problems and better contribute effectively to their society and ensure that no child is made to drop out of school. Accountability: We will be accountable to all stakeholders and partners in the areas of open and accessible financial and project reports and other actions as a team and an organization. We will pursue excellence and do things that will further the goals of the organization. Inclusiveness: We consistently encourage that the potential of every individual is utilised at peak performance. Every member of the team is made to feel comfortable and no one feels the need to suppress who they are. Integrity and Ethics|: We try to do the right and most appropriate thing in an honest, fair and responsible way.
