Eyewear giant supports Nigerian women

The house brand of eyewear company De Rigo has partnered with a humanitarian charity focused on rebuilding the lives of women from war-torn countries.

De Rigo’s Yalea glasses brand is collaborating on Women for Women International’s Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme to provide Nigerian women training, education and resources across business, personal finance, health, and human rights.

Barbara De Rigo, chief marketing officer at De Rigo, said: ‘I believe that education and an awareness of one’s values and rights are the first step towards female independence and empowerment. Which is why we invest in and are committed to offering concrete, tangible support for women, in line with the Yalea mission. I am particularly and indeed personally proud to be able to stand by the women of Nigeria with this project.’
