Bridget Oyiza Isah

Bridget Oyiza Isah is a passionate advocate for women’s empowerment and community advancement. With a background in Public Administration, Project Management, and Community Service, she has dedicated her life to creating opportunities for women, youth, and vulnerable communities.

Growing up in Okene, Kogi State, Nigeria, as the only daughter in her family, Bridget developed a deep empathy for others and a strong drive to make a difference. Her commitment led her to establish the WESAC Foundation (Women Empowerment Service Aide Centre) — a nonprofit that now operates across Nigeria and Canada, empowering women through education, wellness, leadership, and advocacy.

Under her leadership, WESAC continues to inspire and transform lives through mentorship programs, community outreach, and sustainable empowerment projects.

Bridget’s leadership at WESAC Foundation is inspired by her belief in shared empowerment — echoing Audre Lorde’s words:

“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.”
For her, every act of service brings the world closer to collective liberation.
