Introduction

About AHERI WEG

AHERI WEG is our education, mentorship and empowerment programme area. It helps students, youths and women find their direction and turn education into real opportunity: the right subjects and course, scholarships and student loans, mentoring, skills and work.

Background

Why it matters

Nigeria has about 18.3 million children out of school (UNICEF, 2024), and many who finish school leave with no clear plan. Young people choose courses by guesswork, miss admission and scholarship deadlines, and struggle to turn education into work. Women who have survived violence or poverty often need more than a short training to become independent.

Our target for 2027
4,000senior secondary students complete a life direction course
200students and young people mentored for 9 months
200young people trained in future ready skills
150women trained, with starter kits or seed grants
Our key strategic objective

By December 2027, equip 4,400 students and young people and 150 women in the FCT, Kaduna and Enugu with clear life direction, mentoring, future ready skills and a practical route into further study, work or enterprise.
