Project Empower is an initiative aimed at empowering people to start small businesses through skill acquisition. A flagship project of IHS Nigeria, the initiative is not only focused on reducing unemployment, as these small business owners create opportunities for themselves and others, but also on adding to the country’s economic development.

For 2021, WeForGood was engaged as the implementing partner for western Nigeria, empowering 100 less privileged women and young people and setting them on the path to transform their lives and those of their families by: a. training them across profitable vocational skills namely: Catering and Baking, Art and Craft, Coding and Animation, and Tie and Dye; b. supporting them to register their businesses and open bank accounts; c. introducing them to Digital Marketing to boost their sales; d. creating market access opportunities for them; and e. one year business mentorship and support.
