WISCAR is aware of the myriad of gender related issues that require urgent attention in our society. Nevertheless, we have chosen the following as our key focus areas;
We believe that clear, consistent, open, and honest communication is necessary to build trust and understanding in all of our relationships. Confidentiality is important in all personal matters, but all other information, decisions, reasons, and intents should flow freely to everyone involved in the organization.
Excellence happens by attending carefully to the small tasks, delivering on our commitments, presenting ourselves to others professionally and personally, maintaining our facility and modeling program fidelity.
As leaders in our field, we are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We challenge ourselves to ask questions, seek creative solutions, and embrace new ideas that lead to better outcomes.
We consider partnership as one of our key organizing principles; we are therefore, committed to developing, maintaining, and nurturing partnerships, including alliance and linkages - with institutions and individuals who identify with our vision and mission.
The foundation of WISCAR was inspired by a keenly felt societal need. During her long professional and corporate career, the Founder; Mrs. Amina Oyagbola, constantly recognized a gaping need for an institutional framework that would provide to professional women inspiration, motivation, guidance, and support to help them better navigate their different career pathways.
