WIMBIZ empowers 250 Lagos schoolgirls

The Executive Director of WIMBIZ, Omowummi Akingbohungbe, described the initiative as an exciting, interactive, and educational programme to help school girls navigate their life journeys.

She said, “We chose to step back and create the Big Sister Programme to engage girls at a younger age, inspiring them by introducing them to older sisters who have experienced similar challenges and are now in various leadership roles.

“These big sisters also serve as our facilitators, sharing their wealth of knowledge in alignment with the curriculum we have designed for the programme.”

Also speaking, Chairman of the WIMBIZ Big Sister Programme 2024, Folake Adama, stated that the female-led non-profit organisation partnered with Junior Achievement Nigeria to empower and inspire the girls.

She noted that the goal was to encourage the participants to dream big for their future, build self-confidence, and strengthen their belief in themselves.
