The work, in public

A hand up, so a woman can stand on her own.

We work with women in Lagos and Ogun who are good at their trade but cannot afford to grow it. We help each one with what her trade needs: stock, tools or equipment. Then we stay close all through the year, and we show all of it here.

Àánú ni mo rí gbà, it is mercy I have received.

Everything we do, kept in the open

We launch on 5 November 2026 by helping twenty women, and the help goes on all through the year. The figures grow as the work does, and every one of them is kept here in the open.

The launch appeal

Twenty women at the launch, and more to follow

Our target for the launch is ₦2,000,000. It is a figure to aim for, not a limit. Each woman is helped with what her own trade needs, whether stock, tools or equipment, and the more that is given, the more women are helped.

Give now Our impact
₦0 of ₦2,000,000

Only money received moves this figure. A pledge counts once the money has arrived.
