Girls Initiative for Future Transformation Scholarship (GIFTS) Project

At EMTAG Foundation, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative, the Girls Initiative for Future Transformation Scholarship (GIFTS) Project. This groundbreaking project aims to uplift and empower underserved girls in the Ogbogba community, with quality education.

Goal

Our primary goal is to promote educational empowerment for underserved girls in the Ogbogba community.

Objectives

  1. Scholarship Provision: We aim to provide scholarships or financial aid in the form of school fee payments to post-primary/secondary school girls in Ogbogba. Our present budget for this project will determine the extent of the support we can offer. We are currently assessing whether we can provide full scholarships or support for specific terms. Sustainability is a key consideration, and we are committed to ensuring the longevity of our support beyond the initial phase of the project.

  2. Mentorship Program: Alongside the scholarships, we will establish a mentorship program to support the girls in their educational journey. This mentorship will encompass various aspects such as career talks, internship opportunities, and information about international scholarships. By providing guidance and support beyond financial aid, we aim to equip these girls with the tools they need to excel academically and professionally.

  3. Educational Material Provision: We understand the importance of access to educational resources. Therefore, we will also be providing essential educational materials to the girls, ensuring they have everything they need to succeed in their studies.

  4. Promotion of Gender Equality: Through our intervention, we seek to promote gender equality in education within the Ogbogba community. By raising awareness and engaging with community members, we hope to break down barriers and create a more inclusive educational environment for all.
