Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of humanity’s greatest challenges. In Nigeria, nearly 90 million people—about half of the country’s population—live on less than $1.90 a day. This extreme poverty leaves millions without adequate food, housing, healthcare, or education.

World leaders have committed to ending poverty by 2030, but this goal is unattainable without addressing the discrimination that keeps women disproportionately affected. Women are more likely to live in poverty due to unequal access to paid work, education, and property.

WIN’s Commitment to Ending Poverty

Women Impacting Nigeria (WIN) is dedicated to ending poverty through initiatives focused on income security, decent work, and economic autonomy. We provide training and practical skills to economically empower women, giving them a voice and the tools to improve their lives.

Programs of Impact

WIN Food Bank:

• Our nationwide food bank program delivers food to vulnerable women in deprived communities, ensuring they have access to basic necessities.

Skill Acquisition Training:

• We offer skill acquisition training for women in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements, teaching them how to create and manage food banks. These women can earn additional income by placing food banks in supermarkets, where customers and stores can donate canned and packaged foods to support local communities.

Feeding Programs:

• WIN supports feeding programs across various locations, including:
  • Faith Works Orphanage, Kaduna
  • Lions Village Motherless Babies Home, Lagos
  • Blind and Disabled Shelter, Abeokuta
  • Gruku Interfaith Relocation IDP Camp, Abuja
  • Tender Love Orphanage Home, Anambra
  • Prince of Peace Orphanage Home, Uyo
  • Malkohi IDP Camp, Adamawa
  • St. Theresa IDP Camp, Yola
  • The Thousand Widows, Abuja

By providing these essential services and opportunities, WIN is making significant strides in lifting women and their families out of poverty. Together, we can create a future where every woman has the chance to thrive and contribute to her community.
