NWAG 2012 70's Dance Party
The Nigerian Women Association of Georgia (NWAG) founded in April 2000, is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta Georgia.
Our mission is to empower women, youth and children here in our community and in our home country, Nigeria. As at 2011, NWAG has successfully awarded a one-time, one year scholarship to 303 female students in Nigeria and 28 students in the USA, and has shipped over $1m (one million) dollars worth of medical supplies to various states in Nigeria. In addition, NWAG supports ten orphanages with their nutritional program all across Nigeria, the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Hosea Feed the Hungry, International Women’s House, MedShare, Sickle Cell Foundation and Southside Medical Center in Atlanta, Georgia. These initiatives have been made possible through the dedicated and tireless efforts of our members and the generous support of our sponsors and partners. We encourage you to support our work by becoming a sponsor, as no financial contribution is too small.
