Gender Development Initiative (GenDi)

Gender Development Initiative (GenDi) is a Non–Governmental Organisation committed to the empowerment of disadvantaged children and women in our society.

The first vision started on July 16, 2006, as inspired by the outcome of the Ph.D research thesis of the Chairperson – a research on the socio-economic factors affecting girl-child empowerment in selected agrarian communities of Nigeria sponsored by CODESRIA (2005).
