A journey of hope, resilience, and transformation — empowering women to break the cycle of inequality and create sustainable futures.
I witnessed firsthand how women in my community struggled to break free from economic dependence. Their resilience inspired me to create a platform where women could harness their creativity, develop sustainable skills, and build financial independence.
In 2018, after returning from a visit to rural communities in Northern Nigeria, our founder was struck by the stark reality faced by women. Despite their incredible skills and determination, they lacked opportunities to generate sustainable income and break free from cycles of poverty.
What began as a small workshop with five women has grown into a movement that has empowered hundreds across marginalized communities, proving that when women are given the right tools and opportunities, they can transform not just their own lives, but entire communities.
From a small idea to a transformative movement — each step in our journey has been guided by our commitment to women's economic empowerment.
Project Rebirth started with a small workshop of five women in a rural community, focusing on basic sewing skills and sustainable fabric use.
Our first eco-friendly fashion collection was launched, featuring traditional designs with modern elements. The collection sold out within weeks, providing income for 15 women.
When COVID-19 hit, we quickly adapted by producing face masks, creating jobs for 50 more women when they needed income most. Our masks reached thousands across Nigeria.
We expanded our training programs to include business management, digital literacy, and financial planning, empowering women with comprehensive skills for long-term success.
Project Rebirth received international recognition for our sustainable approach to women's economic empowerment, opening doors to global markets for our products.
We established three community hubs across Nigeria, creating spaces where women can work, learn, and support each other while accessing resources and markets.
Today, Project Rebirth has empowered over 500 women across Nigeria, with our products reaching customers in 15 countries. We continue to expand our impact while staying true to our mission of sustainable economic empowerment.
The women of Project Rebirth share their stories of transformation and hope.
