FOUNDER'S NOTE

I created this organization on the perspective of building healthy society of strong and focused women, with the conscience of a developed and sustainable community for a better living, by providing long-term workable solutions to backwardness in our communities, also provide our girls/women with the opportunity to being independent. This can further reduce gender inequality and alleviating  poverty within our territories. I believe can only be achieved through collective efforts from individuals, cooperate groups, and other organizations, to pull out our girls/women especially those affected by insurgent attacks from a state of FATIMA ASKIRA ignorance, illiteracy, and poverty. I see this as an opportunity for the public to help our victims, by providing them with a balance social environment, which as a result will give them hope for the future. BOWDI staff had different opportunities with partner organizations in the humanitarian and development hub and had used the avenue to train its staffs and volunteers in various areas of capacity building.
