In the last few years, the Amazing Amazon Initiative has empowered over 20, 000 Nigerian women and school children through collaborations with corporate and government entities. It recently launched a logistic and delivery arm, Amazon Delivery, with proceeds from the business aimed at providing help for women and children in need. “Proceeds from our Amazon Delivery help our NGO to look after and empower victims of abuse and violence,” the founder of the Amazing Amazon Initiative and chief executive officer of the Amazon Delivery Mercy Makinde said. There are a lot of women out there who need our help.”Amazon Delivery initially started with delivery in Lagos and its environs. “We owe that to the women and children that Amazing Amazon Initiative provides help to directly or indirectly,” Makinde said.
