Empowering Progress
The Nigerian Women trust fund – NWTF was borne out of the singular desire to see that women’s voices are heard and are accorded the opportunity to contribute their very best towards the development of our society, to have a society where in decision making both genders are well represented and their perspectives are considered in policy-making, project implantation and other decision that affects the lives of every man, woman, children and persons with disability. To achieves this we partner with like-minded individuals, organizations and development partners to conduct research, carry out interventions and push for policy change.
"Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The principles driving our efforts for women's equal participation across all levels.
At the core, our objectives are simple – open doors for women to have an equal seat at the table. We transparently provide resources to fuel women leaders through training, mentoring and sponsoring programs. By investing in the next generation, we sustain women’s activism over the long-term.
Leveraging research, data and partnerships, we advocate for policy reforms and shift mindsets. We engage stakeholders to expand opportunities for women across sectors. As a collaborative fund, we mobilize support, working with organizations to drive systemic change. Our multipronged approach ensures we have the strategies and capacity to dismantle barriers to women’s participation.
Ultimately, we are working towards a just society where women can influence decisions and policies that affect them. By transforming spaces to be inclusive, we are paving the way for sustainable progress.
