In honor of International Women's Month 2026, we are focusing our impact on the women who drive our economy while navigating the "Motherhood Penalty."

We aim to equip 80 business mums across Nigeria with the AI and digital skills needed to build resilient, fundable businesses that can compete in today's economy.
