Where We work
At Wahatana Empowerment Initiative (WEI), we work where help is needed most — in conflict-affected, hard-to-reach communities across northeastern Nigeria, where poverty, displacement, and insecurity have disrupted lives and futures.
Our operations are rooted in the belief that no woman or child should be left behind, no matter how remote their village or how complex their situation.
With proven impact in Adamawa, WEI is now preparing to expand programs into Borno and Yobe States, targeting communities that remain underserved and highly vulnerable due to years of insurgency.
Our goal is to reach over 100+ communities by 2027 — delivering locally rooted, lasting solutions that restore dignity, build resilience, and inspire transformation.
Where we work is defined not just by geography, but by need. And wherever that need exists, WEI will be there — with heart, with hope, and with action.
