Leadership is Her Birthright. Let’s Make It Her Reality.

Empowering Women and Girls Across Nigeria Through Leadership, Healing, and African-Led Development.

About Welead africa

Transforming the leadership potential of women and girls...

Across Nigeria and Africa, too many brilliant women and girls are held back—not because they lack talent, but because systems weren't built for them to thrive.

WELEAD FOUNDATION was founded by Dr Nnenna Uneke, a doctoral researcher in Organizational Leadership Psychology, with one powerful belief:

When Women Rise, Nations Heal.

 

We cultivate, equip, and elevate the leadership capacity of women and girls through education, advocacy, coaching, and community development.

Our Vision

A future where women’s voices shape decisions, their well-being is protected, and their leadership transforms families, cultures, and economies.

Our Mission

To raise strong, compassionate female leaders who drive change and transform communities.

Our Impact: Programs That Transform

Real Programs. Real Change.

Everything we do is designed to unlock the full power of women and girls across Nigeria—and beyond.

01

Leadership Coaching & Mentorship

We help women find their voice and develop their leadership capacity through guided support and community connection.

02

Education & Economic Empowerment

We offer training in leadership, entrepreneurship, and practical skills to help women thrive in every sphere of life.

03

Advocacy & Public Engagement

We use storytelling, research, and strategic dialogue to influence gender-responsive policy and shift public narratives about women’s leadership.

04

Well-being & Emotional Resilience

We embed healing and mental wellness into every program—because a woman’s inner strength is the foundation of her outer impact.

Every voice. Every skill. Every action matters.
