WODDI Inaugurates 25 African Country Reps, 36 Nigerian Coordinators
The Women of Divine Destiny Initiative (WODDI) has significantly expanded its reach across Africa by inaugurating 25 Country Representatives (first batch) and their deputies from 24 African nations, alongside 36 State Coordinators covering all Nigerian states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The virtual ceremony united women leaders, partners, and supporters continent-wide in a powerful display of unity, diversity, and commitment to women’s empowerment. Translation support in French and Arabic ensured inclusive participation, while renditions of the African Union Anthem in multiple languages and a women’s anthem underscored WODDI’s pan-African vision.
In her welcome address, Executive Director Belinda Ujunwa Ezeofor praised the appointees for embracing leadership as a call to nurture communities, inspire change, and create opportunities for women and families.
Founder H.E. Zinaria Nneoma Nkechi Rochas Okorocha, reflected on WODDI’s growth and urged the new leaders to lead with courage, vision, and service:
“We are building a network of women who will not only rise themselves — they will lift entire communities with them. Step into your role with courage, vision, and a deep sense of responsibility.”
The event featured an overview of WODDI’s vision, mission, core values, and flagship programs—including SNARP (She Needs a Roof Project), WESAP (Entrepreneurship and Skills Acquisition), YES (Young, Empowered, and Strong), WHI (Health Initiative), and others—along with a documentary highlighting transformative community impact.
New leaders received detailed briefings on roles, responsibilities, and resources, followed by a collective leadership pledge affirming dedication to WODDI’s values of integrity, accountability, and shared purpose.
WODDI is a people-centered nonprofit dedicated to empowering women, adolescents, youth, and vulnerable groups (including persons with disabilities) through leadership development, economic empowerment, health, housing, and protection programs—aiming for a world where all lead with purpose and live with dignity.
