Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?

Discrimination,& marginalization Nigerian women are suffering from while they were girls has not helped in empowering them in any form. despite all effort either constitutional or whatsoever, government has not issued effective policy for the purpose of gender-balance; hence women suffered all these from their male colleagues even in the same parastatal whereas they supposed to shear equal rights & opportunity with their men counterparts. it is obvious that the crucial role of women in economic, political or social development in Nigeria remain untapped.Women in Riverine suffer most due to their circumstances and need urgent intervention 'empowerment' to enhance their economic & social productivity, hence contribute to the development of their community & care for their families.

Ifesinachi Sam-Emuwa is the founder of the organization and this project. She is a practical example of why this project or innovation. While she was 14 years, as a girl, her parent could not continue in her education rather they wanted her to marry a 40 year old man even while her brother where sent to school, though her elder sisters are all married and not educated. she refused and ran away to her Aunty who also sent her hawking in the street. One day, she could not sale as much and her aunty chess-ed her out to no where and she went to an uncompleted building to sleep. She escaped rape by one pastor who was going for night prayers. This pastor, after asking her questions took her to her parents and promised to train her in school. Today Ifesinachi graduated from a University and has vowed to fight for the rights of women/girls from the grass root.
