Through Dada's Eyes

Greetings!

My name is Dada and I live in a place called Bauchi in northern Nigeria.

I would like to share a little bit about myself and show you how your support is helping me and my community make big and positive changes.

Everyone in my community in Bauchi is an internally displaced person. I enrolled in Women for Women International’s Stronger Women Stronger Nations programme because I heard from a graduate how it changed her life. In Bauchi, there is constant conflict and all forms of violence, including rape, poverty and food insecurity. 

But thanks to the programme, I am learning how to make a nutritious breakfast for my family, why my daughters should go to school, how to expand my business of selling rice and save money for the future. I dream of having my own shop someday.

The impact of the training goes far beyond me. All 25 women in my class are learning to support each other. Thanks to Women for Women International, even our husbands, fathers and brothers are starting to change how they think and are including us in family decisions.   

Come, see how my life is.

You can watch a day through my eyes. See my home and meet my family.

As we say in Hausa, our local language, na gode! (thank you!)

In sisterhood,

Dada

About our work

SUPPORTING WOMEN SURVIVORS OF WAR AND CONFLICT SINCE 1993

Women for Women International invests where inequality is greatest, by helping women who are forgotten – the women survivors of war and conflict. Through our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme, women form support networks, learn to earn an income and save money, and gain knowledge and resources about health and their rights.

Since 1993, we have invested in the power of over half a million women to use their voices and create a ripple effect that makes the world more equal, peaceful and prosperous. That is the power of women, for women.
