Idea Builders is a well-resourced organisation known for delivering women empowerment projects. We bring over eight years’ experience of delivering a portfolio of projects and complimentary services aimed at raising the economic prosperity of women & girls in Nigeria. Idea Builders’ programmes are incubated in partnering NGOs across the country and currently cover 11 states (18 Cities).
In the words of the Executive Director, Mrs. Lucy Kanu
“We want to transform the lives of women and girls and can begin to see that we are making excellent headway. There are millions of young women/girls who often have no guidance and no support, and often struggle with complex issues including poverty, violence/sexual abuse, illiteracy and difficult home lives. For them, it is hard to envision a life outside of this challenging environment. If we can remind just one young woman of her talents, her capabilities and her potential for greatness, it would be a wonderful thing and satisfying milestone.
