Empowering Women, Bridging the Digital Divide
Foundation for Women Empowerment & Digital Inclusion- FWENDI is a non-profit organization committed to equipping underserved women and girls in Nigeria and Africa with digital skills to thrive in today’s economy.
FWENDI has empowered over 50 women across Nigeria—many from underserved or low-income communities—by equipping them with in-demand digital skills and providing a clear pathway into the digital economy. These women have been trained in areas such as IT support, virtual assistance, social media management, content writing, and cloud computing.

Hear from the Women We Empower
These are the stories of women and girls across Africa who are reclaiming their futures—learning to code, starting businesses, earning certifications, and stepping into leadership roles.
I joined FWENDI’s digital literacy program during my final year. It helped me land a remote internship and opened my eyes to global opportunities.

University StudentI am beyond grateful to be a recipient of the FWENDI Virtual Assistant Scholarship, a life-changing opportunity made possible by the incredible Uloma Opuru and the entire FWENDI team. This scholarship is more than just financial support; it is a powerful reminder that there are people who genuinely believe in and uplift others. A special thank you to Coach Victoria Ezechukwu-Obiya of Careers Crafter, whose guidance and expertise have been instrumental in shaping my journey. Her dedication to empowering virtual assistants has been both inspiring and invaluable. This scholarship has given me the confidence and resources to sharpen my skills, grow professionally, and take my career to the next level. I am deeply honored to be part of this initiative, and I look forward to using this opportunity not only to advance myself but also to support others in the future. Thank you, FWENDI! Your generosity has made a real difference in my journey, and I will always be grateful.
