Growing Girls & Women in Nigeria

From training to trade.
From trade to ownership.

The GWIN Entrepreneurship Club is a national, non-partisan network of over 5,000 Nigerian women — farmers, artisans, founders and professionals — building skills, enterprises and assets that last.

Our Vision

A Nigeria where girls and women everywhere — rural, urban, formal and informal — are educated, skilled, financially included, economically productive and confidently leading enterprises, communities and institutions.

Our Mission

To move girls and women from training to trade and from trade to ownership by building skills, unlocking finance and markets, connecting productive assets, and strengthening leadership — through a structured national network of members, chapters and partners.

Core Values

Dignity

Every woman is met with respect. Empowerment is never charity — it is capability, ownership and choice.

Integrity

Transparent governance, honest reporting and accountable stewardship of every resource entrusted to us.

Inclusion

Rural women, homemakers, widows, young women and women living with disabilities are deliberately included.

Excellence

Market-relevant standards in training, production, packaging and service — work that competes anywhere.

Collaboration

Members, cooperatives, government, institutions and the private sector working along shared value chains.

Sustainability

Climate-smart, asset-backed livelihoods designed to outlast a single project cycle.
