The *Design Her Future Vocational Hub* was officially launched today in Benin City, Edo State, marking a milestone for women’s empowerment and economic inclusion in Nigeria. The hub, founded and implemented by *Women Helping Women for a Sustainable Tomorrow Foundation (WHW)*, will serve as a transformative space where women and girls can access vocational training, mentorship, and opportunities to design sustainable futures for themselves and their communities.
“At today’s opening of the Design Her Future Vocational Hub in Benin City, we are not just unveiling a facility—we are unlocking opportunities for women to design their own future. This hub is the result of powerful partnerships. With the leadership of the Edo State Ministry of Women Affairs, the Edo State Diaspora Agency, and the Edo State Government Board for Technical and Vocational Education, the vision and drive of WHW as the founding organization and implementing arm, the mentorship and community grounding of Victorious Living Fellowship, and the strategic guidance of Capital Pulse LLC, we have created a space where women can gain skills, confidence, and independence. When women thrive, families grow stronger, communities prosper, and our economy flourishes. Together, we are writing a new story for Edo State—one where no woman is left behind, and every dream has a chance to shine.” — Professor Elizabeth Pedro
