About  [Edit]

Our slogan is  "Now or death" meaning we the women who founded the NGO must
use our knowledge and sklls NOW to contribute towards development in the north through Education and women's empowerment programs.  One of the issues in the
education program that we undertake is providing logistics for the girls in schools as well as soliciting funding for infrastructural development.

We have been trying to sensitize the northern communities to appreciate the positive northern cultures such as the architecture which is very environmentally friendly:safe during storms, very cool during the hot season thus reducing the incidence of
Meningitis and providing security from rapists and other criminals as it is an enclosed house with enough ventilation.  However, it has become difficult to win the fight because we do not have money to put up a building for an educational institution using the
northern architectural design. It is a sign of affluence to build with zinc,and timber which is rather too hot and environmentally unfriendly and expensive  for the northern weather and too expensive for a poverty stricken region.
