A Journey with the Chybee Entrepreneurship Foundation

On October 28, 2023, the Golden Land Hotel on Okpanam Road, Asaba, Delta State, buzzed with excitement as young women and girls gathered for the inaugural grant-giving startup edition of the Chybee Entrepreneurship Foundation for Women (CEFORWOMEN). This significant event marked a powerful step forward in the foundation's mission to empower women and foster entrepreneurship across Africa.

At her first tranche, about ten young women and girls received grants, enabling them to embark on their entrepreneurial journeys. The founder, Lady Chinyere Miriam Chukwudi, passionately articulated her vision of liberating women across the continent. Her commitment to ending poverty and achieving zero hunger through women’s empowerment resonates deeply, showcasing how economic independence can transform lives.

Since the foundation's launch in October 2023, Lady Chinyere has exemplified resilience and determination in implementing her vision. Her pragmatic approach has inspired hope among participants, helping them envision a future filled with possibilities.

The second tranche of the vision, held at Sweet Spirit Hotel, was another monumental occasion, empowering over 30 additional women. This event brought the total number of empowered women to 42 viable business owners, creating a vibrant community of entrepreneurs. The joy and optimism in the room highlighted the profound impact of CEFORWOMEN’s initiatives.

In line with global standards and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, CEFORWOMEN is effectively addressing the socio-economic challenges faced by women throughout Africa. By providing not only financial support but also mentorship and networking opportunities, the foundation is laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

The strength of CEFORWOMEN lies in its unity. This collective effort has birthed a powerful community; CEFORWOMEN IMPACT HEROES and dedicated volunteers, proudly referred to as CEFORWOMEN Brand Ambassadors. At the recent Grant/Fashionista Café tranche on October 5th, 2024 the foundation celebrated reaching 92 certified beneficiaries, along with over 40 enthusiastic volunteers ready to support this transformative journey.

This unity and shared purpose empower the foundation to reach greater heights. Together, they are not just creating businesses; they are building a movement aimed at uplifting women and creating lasting change in their communities.

As CEFORWOMEN continues its mission, the focus remains on empowering women, increasing productivity, and promoting economic independence. Each edition brings new stories of resilience and success, reinforcing the foundation’s commitment to a brighter future for women across Africa.

Through initiatives like these, CEFORWOMEN is making a tangible difference, inspiring hope, and paving the way for a more equitable world. The journey has only just begun, and with each empowered woman, the foundation is one step closer to achieving its vision of a thriving community of female entrepreneurs.
