Nigeria, Lagos State: Star of Hope Transformation Center

Our organization works with only ABUSED women and girls, those who have suffered domestic violence, rape etc. Our new project is called “Mobile café for rural women”. It is a project designed to empower abused girls and women who are living in rural areas with few educational and vocational opportunities. The mobile café enables those who have gone through our education and skills acquisition empowerment programmes to acquire computer training and to be educated about the internet. The goal is that these rural women and girls can further their education on their own and also access all the available opportunities online; they can also use the internet to share their stories of abuse and also market their crafts. We believe that women and girls can rise in life if they have access to education and the internet.
