For nearly a decade, Julian and Cecile Bott have supported Wavecrest College of Hospitality through WONDER Foundation, helping transform the lives of young women in Nigeria. Their dedication has opened doors to education and employment in the hospitality industry. By leaving a legacy gift in Julian Bott's memory, supporters can continue his commitment to empowering women to gain confidence, independence, and the opportunity to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
Many young women in Nigeria face barriers to education and employment due to poverty, gender norms, and limited access to training. With over half the population under 19, opportunities are scarce. Without education and skills, girls are vulnerable to early marriage, unemployment, and exploitation, perpetuating the cycle of poverty and limiting their potential to achieve independence and create lasting change in their communities.
Wavecrest College of Hospitality equips young women from disadvantaged backgrounds with technical, professional, and soft skills to build successful careers. Each student is supported by a mentor who nurtures her confidence and personal growth. This holistic approach ensures graduates are not only work-ready but empowered to become leaders in their own lives-capable, resilient, and ready to contribute positively to their families and communities.
A legacy gift to Wavecrest College through WONDER Foundation creates lasting opportunities for future generations. Graduates often double their family's income, supporting education and development within their households. Their success uplifts entire communities and inspires other young women to pursue their ambitions. Honouring Julian Bott's legacy in this way ensures his belief in education and opportunity continues to empower women in Nigeria for years to come.
