WINN focuses on women's and youth's empowerment, disability inclusion, health, protection, peacebuilding and conflict management, livelihood and agriculture, and gender equality. WINN is committed to ensuring good governance free of bias and corruption and strives to employ best practices for managing, implementing, and evaluating its organization and program activities. WINN provided support to over 900,000 beneficiaries across North-East Nigeria with both developmental and humanitarian programming, partnering with diverse civil society groups, government agencies, international non-governmental organizations, and United Nations agencies. WINN has strong expertise and a record of implementing programs on prevention and response to gender-based violence (SGBV/DBV), peacebuilding programs, education, livelihood, mental health and psychosocial support (MPHSS).
Our Team
WINN is powered by a diverse team of professionals with expertise in protection, gender-based violence/Disability based violence (GBV/DBV), inclusive education, MHPSS and livelihood support. At the heart of our operations is a dedicated core staff of seven full-time professionals overseeing leadership, programme management, finance, human resources, administration, security, and Driver/logistics.
Beyond this core team, WINN works closely with a strong workforce of 82 field staff and volunteers (14 field staff and 68 volunteers) across 26 communities in six LGAs of Borno State. These team members bring invaluable local knowledge and experience, ensuring that our programmes are community-driven and effectively implemented. Together, we are committed to advancing protection, empowerment, and resilience for women, girls, and vulnerable populations.
