Empower 500 Women in Post-Conflict Borno, Nigeria

Dear Donors,

Thank you for supporting this project to empower 500 women in post-conflict Borno State, Nigeria. Your support will provide skills training, agricultural inputs, business grants, and healthcare services, helping women rebuild their lives and restore livelihoods after years of conflict.

Since 2009, insurgency in northeastern Nigeria has left countless women displaced, impoverished, and traumatized. Many have lost homes, family members, and access to traditional income sources. Without opportunities to earn and sustain themselves, women remain vulnerable to exploitation, child marriage, and unsafe survival strategies. Immediate interventions are crucial to break these cycles of poverty and vulnerability.

This project will equip women with vocational and entrepreneurial skills, provide support for small-scale farming, and offer business grants to start or expand ventures. Healthcare services, including maternal and mental health care, will ensure they can recover physically and emotionally. Together, these measures foster independence, resilience, and community recovery.

Empowered women will generate income, support their families, and reinvest in their communities. Girls’ education will improve, households will gain stability, and local economies will strengthen. Donations received so far are not sufficient to begin the program, but with your continued support, we can provide these women the tools and opportunities they need to rebuild their futures.

With thanks,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
Project Leader
