Empowering Girls and Women, Transforming Lives

During a WEG meeting, Hauwa'u witnessed a food demonstration session showing how healthy meals can be made from locally available sources. A facilitator noticed Salim's small size and measured his arm with a MAUC tape, revealing severe malnourishment.

The WEG assisted me in bringing my child back to life. I now have a healthy child. With the knowledge I have, my family and I live a healthy life, and I can teach and support other women and children.

Cynthia Ogali learned about joint spousal decision making in her WEG. She spoke to her husband, Sunday, about what she had learned. Sunday was quickly convinced that joint decision making would improve their family's health.

Before, I used to hesitate and worry about the costs. But now that my husband and I know that our children's health comes first, we can manage together.

After weeks of consistent savings, Monica secured a loan and opened an engine oil business. Her house stands on a major road where cars frequently need engine oil, and constant power outages mean generators require regular servicing.

Joining Star Women changed my life and gave me the tools to empower myself and others. I am now a proud business owner and lead WEG facilitator.

The WEG members collected contributions to support the child's financial needs. Ogodo Mercy, a member, stepped forward to become the baby's surrogate mother. Other members formed a support network around Mercy and the baby.

I am grateful for the WEG's support and for trusting me with this precious life. Together, we are giving this child the best possible start in life.

When the first WEG was established, Clementina was appointed as the lead facilitator. With her guidance, the group flourished. She led by example and encouraged other women to form their own groups.

Being part of the Women Empowerment Group has been a life-changing experience. Witnessing women supporting and uplifting each other has strengthened my belief in the power of collective action.
