About Nigerian Women Association Maryland Metro Inc.
Founded in May 2014 in Baltimore, MD, the Nigerian Women Association Maryland Metro Inc. (NWAMM) emerged from a vision shared by dedicated Nigerian and Nigerian-American women seeking to create positive change in their communities. What began as a gathering of select women with diverse professional backgrounds has grown into a powerful force for community empowerment and cultural preservation. NWAMM operates as a sisterhood of change agents united by a common objective: to facilitate charity work and create enabling environments for the underserved and minority communities across the United States and in Nigeria. The organization's mission reflects a deep commitment to showing God's love through action, supporting one another in a spirit of sisterhood, and working together as builders of stronger communities. Membership in NWAMM is open to Nigerian and Nigerian-American women aged 21 and older who demonstrate good social responsibility and reside in Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, or Virginia. Members experience the fulfillment and inner peace that comes from being part of a team dedicated to meaningful service, while utilizing their God-given gifts and talents to serve humanity. Through advocacy, empowerment programs, and project initiatives, NWAMM addresses poverty, promotes good citizenship, supports youth development, and celebrates Nigerian cultural heritage. The organization's vision extends to fostering love, excellency in character, and wellbeing among members and their families, while serving as a vital resource and mentoring force for future generations of Nigerians in the Americas.
