Summary

Girls and women who struggle to complete their education can easily feel like they have few options and cannot compete in Nigeria's busy job market. Wonder enables women with few opportunities to develop in-demand vocational skills, giving them hope and linking them with employers. Our graduates move into secure employment or entrepreneurship and become confident leaders in their families and communities, inspiring others and improving their economic situations long-term.

Challenge

In Nigeria, many young people feel they are left with few opportunities as they are unable to complete their education due to their families' financial instability. The young women we educate aspire to continue their education to fulfil their own potential and share in the country's dynamic economic growth.

Solution

The girls will receive high-quality professional training and opportunities to work in Nigeria's growing hospitality and tourism industry. Our project promotes self-sufficiency and agency in young women, boosting their confidence and self-worth. "Every year we work with 200 young women, giving them the chance to achieve 3Es-Empowerment, Employment and Education. We are so grateful for the support that we receive from Wonder Foundation and people all around the world." Ebele, Women's Board.

Long-Term Impact

Our graduates will have greater financial security and an improved quality of life. They will become a beacon of hope to those around them and empowered to make better, considered life choices about their personal relationships, such as who they marry, and how they raise their children. They inspire through their example and become leaders in their workplaces and communities - encouraging women around them to improve their own lives.
