One of our key goals for this project is to create awareness about the need to guarantee the same opportunities for education and life choices for the African girl or woman. To make gender equality a reality in Africa, we must educate and empower women.
I believe that the only way to do this is by being an example and a voice for our women who do not have the opportunity to speak for themselves. We must enlighten them. We must let them know that they can be the driving force of African growth", Waje says.
Through Waje Safehouse,the singer will be touring the continent and kicking off a scholarship fund for 5 bright young women who are unable to fund their tertiary education
To kick off the project, on November 16, the talented vocalist will be launching a global petition simultaneously in cities across the world where women and like-minded men would add their signatures in support of the equality of the African woman.
The cities for this campaign include Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania and Liberia.

To participate, people would be required to sign on banners in designated locations and post selfies on social media to spread the message.
