This is year 3!
3 years ago started as a visit to a shelter with just 25 women, 11k naira pp and a small bag of gifts in Lagos
Last year we brought catered meal, mobile mocktail bar, 20k Naira pp, bags of groceries, music/dancing, brand new clothing from Zephan & Co, free healthcare screenings and more for 50 women in Lagos

But THIS year?! We gave out over 200 meals across Enugu and Lagos/Ogun, bags of groceries at 18k per bag, medical screenings, 10k naira pp, almost 100 pieces of Zephan & Co clothing + beautiful new / gently used donated clothing, Ami Cole makeup, music fun and so much more
The growth is actually shocking - we are blessed. Thank you to all of you amazing humans for your love and support
Where to next year ?!!!!
Joy and impact can and should exist in the same space. ✨
This December, we return to Enugu (Dec 14) and Lagos (Dec 21) to remind women that they are remembered, valued, and cared for.
Each gathering brings community, creativity, and tangible support — from groceries and grants to healthcare and shared joy.

Just a few reviews from a supporter as well as three of the beneficiaries of our end of year Christmas party 🎈#dettydecember #genderbasedviolenceawareness #nigeria
@vanede_us second annual end of year charity event hosted by our founder @nneka_obiekwe_ was an absolute success. Special thank you to our wonderful vendors and partners for dedicating your time and resources to supporting survivors of gender-based violence in Nigeria.
Last year, Nneka made an important promise- that she’d be back this year with MORE!
We’re proud to say that with the help of many supporters, donors and partners - we were able to make good on that promise. Thank you to our planning team @jullyajose@ajalaoflife who worked tirelessly for months on so many details behind the scenes despite not being able to travel to Nigeria this year. This program would have been impossible without them.
Thank you to our wonderful partners:
@clafiya@chinasaekpere for providing a medical team for 1:1 health screenings for gender based violence survivors ❤️
@zephansandco@duchesskiki for donating brand new clothes to gender based violence survivors ❤️
@womenadvocate for providing your wonder psychologist @ladeawaye to deliver an inspiring talk to gender based violence survivors
@cmgeventsandmore for the excellent event planning and management - this beautiful charity event simply would not have happened without you
@urenna for her assistance on the ground for our pre-planning
And of course @betty.abah of @ceehope_nigeria for her local partnership and for her fierce advocacy year long for these women
Merry Christmas, good people!
Our Second Annual Christmas Event is going to be held on Dec 22 in Lagos, NG!
