As the world marks International Women’s Day on March 8th, Lindii Peace Foundation (LPF) joins the global community in celebrating the achievements and contributions of women and girls everywhere. This year’s theme, ” Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” resonates deeply with our mission to uplift and support the women and girl child in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, women and girls face unique challenges ranging from limited access to education and healthcare to gender-based violence and economic disparities. Despite these obstacles, Nigerian women continue to demonstrate resilience, strength, and unwavering determination in pursuing their dreams and creating positive change in their communities.
Lindii Peace Foundation (LPF) is dedicated to providing holistic support to women and girls across the North-East, North-West and North-Central of Nigeria, empowering them to unlock their full potential and thrive in every aspect of life. Through our various programs and initiatives, we strive to:
- Promote Education: We believe that education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering women to become leaders in their communities. Through scholarships, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts, we are working to ensure that every girl in Nigeria has access to quality education, especially women who are affected by crisis and those living in the rural areas.
- Combat Gender-Based Violence: We are committed to ending all forms of gender-based violence by providing survivors with access to legal support, counseling services, and safe spaces. We also conduct awareness campaigns to challenge harmful gender norms and promote gender equality.
- Foster Economic Empowerment: We recognize the importance of economic empowerment in achieving gender equality. Our skills training programs, microfinance initiatives, and entrepreneurship workshops equip women and girls with the tools and resources they need to become financially independent and contribute to the economic growth of Nigeria.

This International Women’s Day, Lindii Peace Foundation reaffirms its commitment to advancing the rights and opportunities of women and girls in Nigeria. We call on government leaders, civil society organizations, and individuals to join us in our efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable society where every woman and girl can thrive.
Together, we can build a brighter future for women and girls in Nigeria and beyond.
