SheCanDo
SheCanDo is a women empowerment organization focused on breaking gender biases, promoting gender equality, and fostering workplace inclusion.
Across Nigeria and beyond, women and girls continue to face systemic barriers that limit their access to leadership, innovation, and economic opportunities. Despite making up nearly half of the population, women are underrepresented in decision-making spaces, with only 6.4% of CEOs in Nigeria being female and less than 10% of girls actively encouraged to pursue problem-solving or entrepreneurial ventures. Many young girls grow up without the mentorship, resources, or confidence to break societal stereotypes and position themselves as leaders, innovators, or business owners.
At SheCanDo, we tackle the barriers limiting women and girls by providing them with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to excel in leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Our programs are designed to break stereotypes, foster confidence, and equip women with practical tools to thrive in a competitive world.
