WOMEN VOICE AND LEADERSHIP PROJECT IN
BAUCHI STATE

StorySuccess StoriesGallery

Bauchi State

The Women’s Voice and Leadership Nigeria (WVL-N) Project, funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by ActionAid Nigeria in Bauchi State, has reached over 1 million people across 116 communities in 18 LGAs, with a total expenditure of over ₦357 million. The project collaborates with one WRO Network (FOMWAN), three LWROs (ASHHF, FAWOYDI, FOMWAN), and 12 CBOs. Focusing on Women Economic Empowerment and Economic Justice, Women Political Participation and Leadership, and the Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence, the project has established 410 structures, including 365 village saving groups. Achievements include sensitizing over 212,000 women on GBV prevention, facilitating the passage of the VAPP Bill and Child Rights Act, empowering 10,115 women through VSLA schemes, and supporting women in political and leadership roles, resulting in seven women securing political appointments.

Four years ago, the ASHH Foundation operated out of a borrowed apartment, unable to afford office space. The Women's Voice and Leadership (WVL) project dramatically changed this situation. With the support of WVL, ASHH Foundation rented an office for three years and has now secured its own property. In May, a grant facilitated the construction of a building within four months, providing a sustainable foundation for the organization. This self-owned space has enabled ASHH Foundation to significantly expand its reach and impact, benefiting many women and girls in Bauchi and neighboring states. The foundation's work now encompasses women's health, economic empowerment, and political participation, creating lasting change in the community.
