Born out of a desire to see women emerge successful, capable, strong and contributing maximally to the wider society, Nwed Ibaan is a Not-for-profit organization registered in Nigeria and USA.
The foundation was conceived and founded by a thriving, hardworking lady, an American of Nigerian roots, Mrs Edidiong Itoro Akpan-Iquot, fondly nick named: ‘Editoro’. She named it in her ancestral Ibibio language; Nwed Ibaan which means ‘Women Education’ or ‘Women’s studies”. Transliterated, it means “women’s book”.
Charity, they say begins at home. The foundation is meant to serve the founder’s origin, Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. This is because, in her research, she noticed that some fathers still don’t believe in educational foundation of female children.
Mrs. Edidiong Akpan-Iquot is very passionate about women Empowerment and education, her dream is to see women lead in all capacities of life and should not be biased by education. This foundation is serving less privileged women between ages 18-55 years old.
Programmes planned out for Nwed Ibaan will include:
– Seminars to enlighten segments of society (victims) on the need for women education.
– Advocacy campaigns on women’s rights to equal professional development and benefits.
– Sponsorship programmes for Akwa Ibom women education in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.
– Bringing awareness and strategies that draws attention to issues facing the girl child, violence against women, and women oppression by fellow women and men.
– Finally, empowering women all over the world by working with other foundations around the world on other issues facing women. Together we can make the world a better place!!!
