According to National Bureau of Statistics, we have 133
million (63%) Nigerians living in poverty. Women account for over half of this
figure living in poverty. 72% of people in the rural areas are poor in which
the most vulnerable are women.
Arise Project, is an empowerment project where Female
entrepreneurs from underserved communities go through vocational skill
trainings and loans and or tools are given to them at the end of the training
to help facilitate their small scale businesses
It’s essential that women are empowered because it does
positively affect the social development of families, communities and
countries. When women live safe, satisfied and productive lives, they can reach
their full potential, contributing to the development of the economy of their
country and can raise happier and healthier children.
With Arise Project we are providing a sustainable way for
disadvantage women to be resourceful.
We believe as an Organization that when women are lifted out
of poverty, they are expected to take care of their families especially their
children.
