The women converge under one roof to discuss salient issues that will move them forward and also gear them towards achieving their set goals. Arise Women has played a major role in contributing to the empowerment of the less privileged in Nigeria building Schools, hospitals, boreholes constructions for communities, ambulances for hospitals, skills acquisition programmes, and so many other interventions to support the government.
