The Problem

The women in Epe, Nigeria face economic vulnerability which is exacerbated by factors such as illiteracy, lack of access to education, and limited opportunities to gain valuable skills, leading to income inequality and overall community poverty.

How This Effects A Community.

Poverty and Income Inequality

With a significant segment of the population, especially women, not having stable income sources, the overall economic health of the community suffers, leading to entrenched poverty and widening gaps in income levels.

Diminished Gender Equality

Economic vulnerability reduces women’s bargaining power within households and the community, which can further gender disparities and limit women's roles in decision-making processes.

Reduced Community Development

Economic vulnerability reduces community development by limiting investment in essential infrastructure and services, leading to underdeveloped facilities and poor living conditions.
