In a historic celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD), the Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative (EWEI), with support from the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (UNTF), organized a groundbreaking event in the Kujama community of Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State. The event marked a significant milestone in the implementation of EWEI’s 3-year project, Together We Can (TWC), aimed at addressing Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) in conflict-affected areas of Kujama and Kasuwan Magani in Kajuru Local Government.
The project seeks to empower 60 women and girls through psychosocial support, economic empowerment, mental health services, and reintegration initiatives, particularly targeting internally displaced persons (IDPs). By addressing the root causes of VAWG and equipping women with the tools to cope with daily challenges, the project is advancing resilience and self-reliance among vulnerable populations
The IWD event in Kujama was a vibrant gathering of key stakeholders, including government officials, and community leaders. The highlight at the event was the official launch of four women-led cooperatives two in Kujama and two in Kasuwan Magani each comprising 15 members. These cooperatives, duly registered with the state, are designed to provide a sustainable platform for economic empowerment and psychosocial support. The leaders of the cooperatives were sworn in by Barr. Anarya’a Aishatu Fali, EWEI’s Legal Adviser and have since assume their roles.
Abdulkarim Yusuf Ovanigbe, Assistant Monitoring and Evaluation Focal Person for the project, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating that “We joined the world to celebrate International Women’s Day by swearing in these women into their new cooperatives. This is an opportunity to step up what the project seeks to achieve. Empowering women is empowering society.”

Through the UNTF, the project has allocated N10,362,188.18 to support the 60 beneficiaries in starting their businesses. The funds will be managed through the cooperatives, with guidance from Alhikma Microfinance Bank, the project’s financial partner. Each cooperative has submitted a business proposal focused on the sale of grains, leveraging the agricultural strengths of Kujama and Kasuwan Magani. These communities are known for their thriving farming activities and international markets, with women playing a central role in agriculture and trade.
Kigbu Agbamen, the project’s Assistant Finance Focal Person, added that, “The cooperatives are designed to harness the agricultural potential of these communities. By supporting women in these sectors, we are not only addressing economic challenges but also strengthening community development.”
The event also saw strong commitments from stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of the cooperatives. The Sarkin Tudun Wada Kujama, Mr. Amos Yakubu, expressed his gratitude to EWEI and the UNTF for the initiative and pledged to support the women in all possible ways. He announced plans to build an office for the two cooperatives in Kujama, indicating the traditional institution’s role in sustaining the project. “We are committed to supporting these women and ensuring the success of their cooperatives,” he said.

Mendie Jeremiah, the project’s Monitoring and Evaluation Focal Person, outlined the sustainability plans for the cooperatives. “By November 2026, we aim to see these cooperatives grow and include more women from the communities. We are working closely with local governments, the state Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Social Development to ensure continued support and intervention,” he said. He also highlighted the psychosocial aspect of the cooperatives, noting that they will serve as safe spaces where women can support one another and access counseling services provided by the state Ministry of Human Services and Social Development.
