Founded in 2023 by the visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist Lady Chinyere Chukwudi Zimako, Chybee Entrepreneurship Foundation for Women (CEFORWEN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women and young girls across Nigeria and Africa through entrepreneurship, capacity building, financial inclusion, and mentorship.
Our foundation was born out of a deep passion to bridge the economic gap faced by women and to provide them with the tools, skills, and opportunities they need to become financially independent and socially empowered. At Chybee, we believe that when you empower a woman, you empower a community — and that empowerment begins with access to knowledge, mentorship, funding, and support.
Since inception, the Foundation has reached and impacted over 5,000 women and girls through various empowerment initiatives, including grants, mentorship programs, business training, skill acquisition workshops, and financial literacy sessions.
