When asked about what gave birth to the African Woman campaign initiative, the songstress disclosed that the initiative is to create awareness about the need to guarantee the same educational opportunities for the girl child.

Waje said: “There has been an important and often misunderstood concept in the narratives for gender equality which is opportunity. African Woman campaign is to create awareness about the need to guarantee the same opportunities for education and life choices for the African girl or woman. I will also be launching a scholarship fund for five bright young women who are unable to complete their education through financial difficulties. While the scholarship fund will commence first in Nigeria, it will be extended throughout Africa in the future. We will be touring Africa starting in January through to March and we already enjoy support from organizations and highly placed individuals at every stop.”

On what the African child is missing she said women need to be given greater opportunities in order to become what they have dreamt of.
