Our programs
Women on Wheels
The Women on Wheels (WOW) project is a holistic program designed not only to equip women with riding and safety skills but also to nurture their personal and professional growth.
Our work focuses on
- Gender equality and empowerment
Breaking down social, cultural, and economic barriers that limit women’s opportunities.
- Skills training and entrepreneurship
Equipping women with vocational, financial, and leadership skills.
- Sustainable solutions
Driving initiatives in e-mobility, climate-smart practices, and social innovation.
- Advocacy and mentorship
Building safe spaces, mentorship networks, and platforms that amplify women’s voices.
By combining defensive riding, road safety, traffic regulation, and first aid training with financial literacy, entrepreneurship skills, and vocational skills, the program ensures that women are well-prepared for both the technical and economic aspects of the mobility sector. Beyond training, WOW emphasizes empowerment through self-defense, emotional coaching, awareness of gender-based violence, and family planning education.
This integrated approach enables women to pursue careers as professional riders, access sustainable income opportunities, and confidently navigate mobility within their communities. Additionally, WOW champions the adoption of electric vehicle (EV) mobility, making women key players in shaping a safer, greener, and more inclusive future for transport in Africa.
Program Objectives
- Improve protection, safety, and security for women.
- Enhance access to job opportunities by becoming qualified commercial motorcycle operators or riders for personal or commercial activities.
- Increase safe mobility independence for women within their communities.
- Promote electric vehicle (EV) mobility use and access throughout WOW trainings
