As we reflect on 2024, we are deeply grateful for the remarkable progress made at Women Inspiration Development Center (WIDC) This year has exemplified the power of collaboration, and shared determination to transform the lives of vulnerable adolescent girls in Nigeria. Through Obama foundation fund from Girls Opportunity Alliance, we were able to train 20 NGOs leaders from 10 organizations from seven states in Nigeria to take agency development to the population of vulnerable adolescents they were serving and these alone has translated to helping 4,320 vulnerable girls to find their voices and discover their powers to live their dreams.
Through our efforts this year, about 12,000 girls were sensitized to protect themselves from every form of domestic violence, have education on mensuration and 500 were supplied with sanitary pads. We supported 101 girls in vocational training in the year 2024. We are supporting 7 girls presently in court on rape cases, 2 girls were rescued from human traffickers and were still at our center having vocational training in tailoring that will settle them for life. A girl with pregnancy as a result of rape is doing well in our center with her baby and preparing to go back to school. Our advocacy for gender equality, life skills, sexual and reproductive health rights, and early childhood development has positively impacted 10 rural communities.
Through many of our efforts this year, wife battering in the communities around us is reducing drastically because survivors were getting justice. There is more reporting of cases of rape because survivors are now sure of support, getting justice and the issue of naming and shaming survivors are going down as a result of our awareness campaigns.
During the Giving Tuesday, 2024, we joined others in the world in giving to humanity as we gave the gift of books to 5,600 students of high schools in our community.
This year also, Women Inspiration Development Center joined Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All (CSACEFA) continue to work with Child Protection Network in Nigeria.
None of these would have been possible without our dedicated team, partners, your donations and the dedication of the population and community we are working with
