We work side by side with women, girls and communities to eliminate discrimination and open pathways to quality education, economic opportunity, and social justice across Nigeria.
Education for every girl
Who We Are
The Women's Right to Education Programme (WREP) is a Non-Governmental, Non-Profit Voluntary Organization registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria — RC 488118.
Established to provide a platform for women, youth and education stakeholders, WREP initiates and facilitates projects that advance quality education for all Nigerians, with a particular focus on marginalized women and girls. We work through community engagement, policy advocacy, and partnerships across Nigeria's states.
WREP's approach is rooted in the belief that when women are educated and empowered, families, communities, and the nation as a whole prosper.
We have to step up as women and take the lead. We have to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. — WREP Core Value
