Teaching skills in underserved communities to ensure economic independence through the transformative power of the arts.
The Women and Youth Art Foundation (Wy Art) was proudly established in December 1994 as a non-profit organization at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. The Foundation is dedicated to imparting various arts and crafts skills to underserved communities nationwide. Its mission is to teach women, recognizing their crucial role in homebuilding and teaching skills to their children.
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed remarkable transformations in the lives of our beneficiaries. Our outreach extends to diverse groups, including the unemployed, low-income workers, individuals with disabilities, widows, and youth groups, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunity. From establishing cottage industries to becoming successful entrepreneurs, our programs have empowered individuals to thrive creatively and economically.
