Their mission is to create a poverty-free environment by providing access to education for girls and empowering women, while also working to mitigate and prevent sexual and gender-based violence. One of their programs is focused on food security and nutrition, addressing the direct causes of malnutrition through proper diets and clean water, with a special emphasis on vulnerable populations such as young children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers in the Konduga Community. BOWDI recognizes that achieving food and nutrition security requires advancing gender equality and women's empowerment. They actively work towards women's empowerment, ensuring that women have the same capacity as men to shape their own lives and contribute to their families, communities, and societies. To further promote women's engagement in peace and security, BOWDI has initiated strategies to raise the capacities of women leaders working in Borno and Yobe. They also establish Women and Girls Safe Spaces, which serve as key approaches for the protection and empowerment of women and adolescents. With a vision to nurture developed and resilient communities, BOWDI aims to reduce poverty and sexual/gender-based violence. They have partnered with international organizations such as the United Nations High Refugee and the World Food Program to support their initiatives. Choose BOWDI to support their noble cause and be part of the positive change they bring to the lives of girls and women in Borno State, Nigeria.
