Eradicating poverty in all forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Nigeria has the largest number of people living in extreme poverty, with an estimated 90 million Nigerians around half of the century’s population living on less than $1. 90 a day. A sum that leaves them without enough food, housing, health care or education.
World leaders have committed to ending poverty by 2030 but that aspiration can only be achieved by ending the discrimination that keeps women in poverty. Women are disproportionately affected they are more likely to live in poverty due to unequal access to paid work, education and property.
WIN acts to end poverty through programs aimed at income security, decent work and economic autonomy. In addition to this, we are providing trainings and practical skills to empower poor women economically and give them a voice.
