WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

Reborn Initiative


Description

Reborn Initiative is an educational and entrepreneurship residency program for women and girls in rural areas of Delta state, Nigeria where they can study, learn a trade and develop their confidence. These women and girls are oppressed due to gender poverty, violence and relegation. They are not encouraged to study or tRafe but rather face harsh cultural practices that hinder them from harnessing their potentials. At Blue ribbon initiative, these women and girls reside full time in a supportive environment where they can develop their own unique academic and creativity talents.
