2018The beginning
A small workshop with five women focused on sewing skills and sustainable fabric use.
Where it began
A response to resilience that deserved resources.
Project Rebirth began with a simple conviction: women already hold extraordinary ability. What is often missing is fair access to opportunity, capital, and a platform to lead.
The founder’s spark
A dream born from what she had seen.
“Their resilience inspired me to create a platform where women could harness their creativity, develop sustainable skills, and build financial independence.”
Growing up on a farming settlement and later visiting rural communities in Northern Nigeria, founder Oluwadamilola Akintewe saw talented, determined women held back by economic dependence and limited access.
A small workshop became a growing movement—proof that when women receive the right tools and opportunities, they transform their own lives and strengthen entire communities.
