Beauty for Ashes
The BFA project is an ongoing one that provides support and opportunities for at-risk women to reconstruct their lives and realize their full potential.
The Problem
Women, particularly in rural areas of Nigeria, often face the harsh realities of challenging economic conditions. This struggle is exacerbated by unequal access to education and economic opportunities when compared to men. As a result, women and girls find themselves at a higher risk of experiencing sexual and domestic violence, as well as emotional and psychological traumas.
So, NnaDozie is tackling this in it’s Beauty for Ashes initiative.
Our Solution
With our partner support we are providing needed support network, skill acquisition and educational programs to transform lives.
Our initiative provides vulnerable women with the support and opportunity to be equipped, healed and transformed from various traumas. Our aim is to help women thrive by facilitating skill development, access to mental health counseling and supplying essential resources. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers, especially the experts in women's health, mental health professionals, business coaches, and counselors, who generously share their skills and time to improve the lives of those we serve.
Access to Counseling and Support Network
We strive to facilitate access to mental health counseling and support services. Our goal is to connect survivors with appropriate individuals and organizations that can offer justice, protection, and various forms of assistance. We additionally assist by providing food, clothing, groceries, medical supplies, and temporary housing for individuals in need. The contributions of our volunteers are invaluable in this endeavor.
Vocational Skills Training
We also believe that personal empowerment can be achieved by providing skill development opportunities, access to business grants and trainings, and scholarships in areas such as tailoring and hairdressing. These initiatives will help ensure that women have sustainable sources of income and can advocate for themselves where leading to both financial and emotional stability. See our CBE Initiative.
Education and Scholarship Programs
We are committed to offering educational scholarships to individuals seeking to further their studies, thereby empowering more women to achieve personal and financial independence through education. This initiative is expected to positively influence the lives of their children and family members, leading to an enhancement in their overall living conditions. Ultimately, our scholarship program is a vital investment in the future, as it not only empowers women but also contributes to the broader societal goal of equality, growth and economic development. We belive education is one key to enabling women and families to thrive.
Beneficiary Feedback
“I lost my husband few weeks into this pregnancy and I have been completely devastated. I did not realize that this had affected my blood pressure, until the nurse checked me today. I want to thank you for caring about us. I have learnt how to take better care of myself and hopefully I will visit the health centre for antenatal care. Thank you Nnadozie foundation”.
“This project has really restored my hope, I have been worried about how to raise money for my delivery items. I know it is unsafe to be so worried during pregnancy, but I really did not know what to do. With the lessons I have learnt and this kit I have received from Nnadozie foundation, I am now relaxed and confident to have my baby.”
