So everyone is asking us, what is Project WE? Below is an excerpt of what Project WE stands for. Okay so I summarized it as follows:
Project Women’s Education (Project WE)
“Education and Literacy among Nigerian women”
Education among Nigerian women is one of the key objectives of MNIA, Inc. This program thus focuses on the advancement (Social, Financial and Sustainability) of the Nigerian woman through education. This project aims to assist women in rural villages and cities with funds to cover education costs. This will empower them through life’s struggles to forge on forward to attain the highest level of education with appropriate assistance. This program will aim at achieving the following:
~~Provision of scholarships for the less fortunate women in Nigeria.
~~Assist in providing school uniforms for deserving primary/secondary school girls.
~~Promotion of Women's teacher training programs.
~~Non formal education programs for adult women.
~~Initiation of a campaign to encourage parents in remote areas to send their daughters to school.
This is the founding program for MNIA and the reason, MNIA Inc. was started. I believe that when you educate a woman, you educate a nation. Wikipedia refers to education any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society, through schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions, deliberately transmits its cultural heritage--its accumulated knowledge, values, and skills--from one generation to another.
Having read that, can you imagine when the foundation of a nation is not educated? Can you imagine what the world will be like if there were no educated women?
Project WE takes a stand on the reasons why EDUCATION is very important for Nigerian women. It is our FIGHT!! It is our MISSION to continue to fight to ensure that the percentage of Nigerian Women who are educated is increased.
I cannot live in a world today were WOMEN EDUCATION is not a priority!
PROJECT WE will ensure that WOMEN EDUCATION becomes a priority in Nigeria and in the global world.!
