We are ending barriers
to girls education...
New project
At EMTAG Foundation, our mission to empower through education knows no bounds. We are excited to announce the launch of our latest initiative, the Inclusive Education Support Project (IESP), aimed at supporting students with special needs in Ojuwo-Igah, Olamaboro Local Government Area, Kogi State.
Who We Are
Empowering the African Girl-child Foundation is a women and youth-led non-profit initiative that is aimed at educating and empowering women and girls to enhance gender equality in Nigeria.
Key Pillars
EDUCATION
Educating the girl child is our utmost mission and we do this by providing scholarship and mentorship opportunities as well as tackling other barriers that prevent girls from accessing education.
TRAINING
We train our volunteers to recognise the core values of our organisation and implement them when the need arises.
EMPOWERING
We empower girls with education so they can rise to stardom. We believe education is the greatest weapon to give a girl.
Mentoring
Through mentorship, we provide girls with the necessary skills and tools to discover their potential and build confidence.
