This initiative is designed to uplift 18,500 women across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, starting with 500 beneficiaries from each state in the North Central Zone. The program aims to provide women with essential tools and resources to establish or expand their businesses, promoting economic self-sufficiency and national development.
A Collaborative Effort for Women’s Economic Independence
The Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), in partnership with the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (OSSAP-SDGs), has developed this empowerment program to directly benefit women at the grassroots level. By equipping women with practical business tools, the initiative seeks to create a ripple effect of economic growth and sustainable development.
