SkillUp, an initiative by Shirah, aims to empower Nigerian women by providing education in skilled trades. This project focuses on enabling women to become economic contributors and leaders, enhancing their societal and familial roles through skill acquisition and potential employment opportunities in Africa and beyond.

The challenge affecting millions of women in Nigeria

In Nigeria, skilled trades offer substantial economic opportunities but are predominantly male-dominated, limiting women's access to these lucrative fields. This gender disparity contributes to economic inequality and underutilization of potential female workforce, restricting women's roles in society and their ability to make autonomous life choices.

Empowering Nigerian women through education in skilled trades can disrupt this status quo, leading to enhanced economic independence, gender equality, and societal advancement. By equipping women with the necessary skills and knowledge, they can access better job opportunities, contribute to economic growth, and challenge and reshape societal norms, fostering a more inclusive and equitable society

"Through SkillUp, women gain the agency to shape their futures, contribute to their communities, and inspire others, ultimately leading to a more balanced and progressive society".
