Who We Are
Empowering Women, Transforming Communities
The Bridge for Women Development Initiative (BOWDI) formally known as Borno Women Development Initiative has established itself as a pioneering force in advancing the rights and welfare of women and girls in Nigeria. Headquartered in Maiduguri, Borno State, with a liaison office in Abuja and field offices in Adamawa, Yobe, and Sokoto states, BOWDI has been at the forefront of implementing community-led models that foster protection, gender-based violence (GBV) prevention, mitigation and response, food security, livelihood, and education programs.
Through our comprehensive programs in protection, education, livelihoods, and emergency response, we have touched over 3 million lives across seven states.
