Empowered Lady Bootcamp (ELB), Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), says it has trained no fewer 600 women on skills and tools to build influential online brands and achieve financial independence.
The Founder of the NGO, Ms Immanuela Nwaigwe, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday that the women cut across 22 countries.
According to her, the empowerment was to enable the women to turn their knowledge and skills into thriving online brands that generate huge incomes.
She told NAN that ELB is a social impact movement that fosters economic empowerment and community development.
“Exactly one year ago, I felt led to create Empowered Lady Bootcamp to help women build brands that not only provide income but also inspire influence and impact.
“Over the past year, ELB has impacted the lives of over 600 women across 22 countries.
“Today, our alumni are breaking barriers, rewriting their stories, and leading change in their communities.”
“The ELB model addresses critical areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 5 which deal with quality education and gender equality.
She said by providing women with access to high quality training in digital skills, branding, and entrepreneurship, ELB equipped them to bridge digital divides, drive innovation, and secure financial independence.
“The ripple effect of this empowerment extends beyond the individual. ELB alumni are leveraging their newfound skills to impact their families, communities, and the broader society,” she said.
Nwaigwe, a Certified Women Development Coach further explained that ELB offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes personal branding, digital marketing, content creation, and financial literacy.
She said participants also learnt how to use social media and other digital tools effectively to create sustainable income streams.
“These skills are vital for women looking to break free from financial dependency and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
“The bootcamp’s success stories demonstrate that investing in women’s education and empowerment yields dividends not just for individuals but for society at large.
“With its sights set on a broader reach and deeper impact, the ELB remains steadfast to transform women into agents of social and economic change,” she said.
