Association of Nigerian Women Entrepreneurs and Professionals
Association of Nigerian Women Entrepreneurs and Professionals (ANWEP) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization registered in the state of Texas that focuses on women empowerment by working to increase the number of girls/women in STEM education/careers through mentorship, outreach programs, coding workshops and boot camps, role modeling and support for women in crisis. At ANWEP, we understand that role models and mentors help young women visualize themselves as Professionals and future Leaders which is why our mentoring efforts not only provide successful role models for future women in STEM, but also showcase the range of opportunities a STEM education makes possible. We also recognize that female education is a crucial component to poverty alleviation, and investing in girls education helps delay early marriage and parenthood. We believe that the key to ensure that aspiring women scientists stay in STEM, are mentors that they can emulate. ANWEP also provides supportive services to domestic violence survivors and educates girls and women about intimate partner abuse and recognizing the warning signs of sexual exploitation.
