“Empowering women as catalysts for positive transformation.”
EECW is a non-political, non-religious, non-profit NGO in Nigeria committed to uplifting women, particularly in rural areas. Founded by experienced individuals with a shared vision, we aim to empower women to become proactive agents of positive change.
The Vocational Training program at EECW is a comprehensive initiative designed to equip rural women with practical skills and knowledge in various areas of economic development. Through hands-on workshops and structured courses, participants gain expertise in essential fields such as catering, knitting, sewing, and more. This empowers them to explore entrepreneurial opportunities, generate income, and contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
EECW recognizes the transformative potential of entrepreneurship in rural communities. To this end, we facilitate connections with microfinance institutions, enabling women to access capital for their business ventures. This crucial support not only fosters economic independence but also serves as a powerful tool in the fight against poverty. By nurturing sustainable enterprises, we aim to create lasting positive impact on the livelihoods of these women and their communities.
- Sensing the distinct challenges encountered by epilepsy patients in rural communities, EECW has launched a specialized outreach program. Our provision goes beyond mere medical care, encompassing critical emotional and psychological support for those affected by epilepsy. Through collaborative affiliations with healthcare experts and specialists, we ensure that patients obtain the essential treatment and care they need. This initiative underscores our unwavering dedication to nurturing comprehensive well-being and fostering inclusivity within the communities we serve.
EECW recognizes that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right. Through our Nutritional Support Program, we supply food staples to underprivileged households in rural areas. This initiative not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also aims to alleviate food insecurity in the long term. By partnering with local suppliers and leveraging community resources, we work towards creating sustainable solutions for improved nutrition and overall health.
EECW is dedicated to breaking down barriers to education for children in impoverished rural communities. Our School Enrolment Program focuses on identifying and assisting children who face challenges in accessing formal education. We collaborate with local schools, families, and community leaders to ensure that these children are enrolled and actively engaged in their educational journey. By promoting education as a cornerstone of empowerment, we strive to equip the next generation with the tools they need to thrive and contribute positively to society.
This project aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal 4, which advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education for all. By providing girls in rural communities with opportunities to explore STEM subjects through practical programs and mentorship, the project empowers school girls with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the increasingly tech-driven world. Through collaboration with public and private organizations, we promote STEM education in schools, aligning with the broader global agenda of ensuring lifelong learning opportunities and fostering inclusive education.
In partnership with NACA, SACA, and LACA, EECW has led HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns targeting nomadic communities in Kaduna and Plateau states, breaking stigma and promoting inclusivity.
