In partnership with

Women Emerging partnered with Teach for Nigeria to launch an expedition for women within the Teach for Nigeria network.

This expedition brought together 25 women from Ogun State, aged 26 to 40, as part of the Let Girls Thrive project – a program dedicated to empowering young girls across Nigeria through education and opportunities. The expedition aimed to accelerate their leadership journeys, equipping them with the tools to inspire and uplift others as they lead.

The expedition began in March with an in-person workshop led by Julia Middleton, Founder of Women Emerging, and Folawe Omikunle, with Katie McEvoy serving as the Community Manager. In the final week of June 2024, the explorers came together to consolidate their findings, refine their approach, and shape the framework for WE16, ensuring its impact reaches 16-year-old girls across the state.
