a word from our founder

“Women and youth have always been considered by the world as vulnerable people with very little buying power. Illiteracy rate among women is the highest the world over. The girl child is considered as one belonging to another family and is married off prematurely without substantial investment into her life. There has to be a change.

Ever since we started Femdev, we’ve coached and mentored multiple women and youth on how to discover and grow their potential, I am the happiest woman in the world because god has given me the opportunity to lead an organization that has touched so many lives. i have had the privilege to have had access to education from a young age and even wrote a book about it called '“chika goes to school.” i would like to share the powerful gift of education with the next generation as i’ve already seen the fruits of our labor where individuals we’ve helped have achieved victories both big and small such as a young girl learning to read at her grade level or a young women going from financial destitute to beind independent and thriving.  

if you’re interested in sharing the gifts that god has given you with those in a less fortunate situation, please help by supporting femdev so we can continue to spread god’s love and be good samaritans to those in need.
