Pathfinders Turns 7!

FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Partner,

A little over 7 years ago, I resigned from my partnership at my law firm in New York to embark on a road less traveled. With nothing but a vision to change Nigeria and to amplify the muted voices of women, I stepped out in faith, trusting God that my life’s work would disrupt the status quo and ignite a revolution for Nigerian women.

Today, exactly 7 years ago, we began the journey and what a journey it has been! To all those who believed (and even those who didn’t), thank you! Because of you, the lives of 2,500+ women have changed for the better and we are a leading voice in Nigeria’s anti-trafficking movement. Here are a few of our achievements:

  • THOUGHT LEADER/EXPERTS IN NIGERIA’S ANTI-TRAFFICKING RESPONSE
  • CONDUCTED NIGERIA’S FIRST EVER GAP ANALYSIS ON TRAFFICKING
  • ONLINE HUB OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES FOR SURVIVORS (Launching in 8/21)
  • PATH (REHABILITATION) PLANS FOR OVER 500 TRAFFICKING SURVIVORS
  • LEAD FACILITATORS/TRAINERS FOR STAKEHOLDERS
  • DEVELOPED NATIONAL STAKEHOLDER GUIDELINES
  • NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS
  • PROVIDING EXCELLENCE IN SURVIVOR CARE
  • OUTREACH REACHING MILLIONS DAILY
  • GROUND BREAKING RESEARCHERS
  • PARTNERS IN NINE COUNTRIES
  • ANCHOR SHELTER THRIVING
  • THREE OFFICE LOCATIONS
  • LEGISLATIVE DRAFTERS
  • 300+ VOLUNTEERS
  • ADVOCATES

Today, we remain as committed as we were on Day 1. Nigeria must work in one lifetime: ours.

Happy 7th birthday to us!

Best,
