Ladies of NOW: Nigeria Outreach for Wellness

Ladies of NOW -- Nigeria Outreach for Wellness -- is a non-profit charitable organization of young Nigerian ladies who have a desire to assist and educate the underprivileged in our exquisite homeland of Nigeria. Our mission is to promote and encourage economic, educational, cultural and social needs and maintain our cultural heritage and identity. We utilize our talents and skills to serve humanity, empower ladies, embrace sisterhood and network with fellow Nigerians.

Ladies of NOW was founded in September of 2005 and is a registered non-profit corporation in the state of Georgia. Collectively, along with other members we donate our time and energy to support organizations that offer assistance to those in need in our native land. In addition to soliciting donations and submitting grant proposals, we host local fundraisers in the Atlanta area. Along with organizing fundraisers and donating our time to other organizations, we will have series of "ladies-only" socials. These gatherings offer ladies a chance to network and associate with other professional ladies in a formal environment. Proceeds from our organization go towards educating and assisting with supplies for Diabetes, AIDS, Sickle Cell, and other diseases that are ailing our native country. Also individual primary schools will receive assistance through supplies and education.

Ladies of NOW is a 501(c)(3) organization and is organized entirely for charitable purposes. NOW’s prime purpose is to offer assistance to grassroots entities helping the underprivileged in Nigeria. Ladies of NOW does not participate in or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office.
