Bountiis Empowers Women to Overcome Emotional, Social Challenges at Lagos Summit
Nonprofit organisation Bountiis has reaffirmed its commitment to women’s emotional wellness and personal development through the fourth edition of its Rise & Thrive programme, held at the University of Lagos.
The event, themed “Whole. Worthy. Thriving.”, brought together women from diverse backgrounds, including widows, divorcees, married women, and mature singles, for sessions focused on emotional resilience, self-worth, faith, and personal growth.
Speakers at the event encouraged participants to overcome limiting beliefs, build resilience, and remain grounded in their values despite personal and societal challenges.
Executive Director of Bountiis, Dr. Falilat Jimoh, said the initiative was created to provide support for women facing emotional and social pressures.
“Many women carry invisible burdens while continuing to serve their families, communities, and workplaces. Rise & Thrive was created to remind women that they are not alone and that they can thrive despite life’s challenges,” she said.
According to the organisation, applications for the programme exceeded available spaces, highlighting growing demand for platforms that promote women’s emotional well-being, personal development, and community support.
Bountiis said it remains committed to expanding access to mentorship, wellness initiatives, leadership development, and support systems aimed at helping women thrive in all areas of life.
