This ensures that the girls we work with are in environments that allow them to learn and foster their growth. Our hope is that the young girls we work with are able to invest their learning back into their families and communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612557144734-PKDPRIT96Y9NC6W2K45F/image-asset.jpeg Home - Impact Report We value transparency at Educate Our Girls and that is why we have made the conscious decision to publish this impact report.

She had maintained the highest score in her year group for two consecutive years in the local government school she had been attending. She is very bright and outspoken, and is also passionate about female development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612610933064-WSBM9LLFTONGC6EO42M6/IMG_4183.jpg FORTUNE - Surgeon in the making Fortune would like to become a surgeon.

A graduate of law at the Rivers State University and about embarking on my Masters Degree in Law(LL.M), I strongly believe that education and career growth are not gender based. The girl child can realize her greatest dreams, given the right efforts and environment. I am currently a volunteer within the campaign team at Educate Our Girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612819515399-ZI6TCDFMM5LPI0O6UGZ7/A73EDF38-2214-4BA0-99D2-FEB9BBC980DC_1_201_a.jpeg Our Team - Adila Darego Tobias Keene, D.D.S. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District.

I currently handle all legal, secretarial, and compliance issues at Educate Our Girls. As an advocate for social change and impact, I am committed to bringing transformation to whatever sphere of influence I find myself in. I firmly believe that good education is the most important tool for a society's transition to sustainable development. I believe this should be readily accessible and available to all persons across tribes, religion and gender. I was recently an Associate at a national law firm; I am also a member of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) and Amnesty International. I believe that a society with educated and powerful women is a strong society and that inspires my commitment to being part of this organisation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1632568783812-7NJM0BX76Z709J7VDUF3/A56E5652-DAFA-4F9D-9DD7-ADD37323D3BF.jpg Our Team - Idongesit Usoro I am a Nigerian, from Akwaibom but born and raised in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, I am a graduate of Mechatronic engineering from the University of PortHarcourt. I am passionate about a girl child education and helping them understand the importance of being a woman in society, and also the importance of education in a young woman. Women have displayed the strength that we didn’t presume to have before, we’ve shown better and greater examples and are the backbone of the society so I’m dedicated to inspiring the next generation of young women. I believe in collective minds working even better together and that’s why I volunteer with Educate Our Girls to push for educated and independent women in Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1613417659289-BJS0JFHRBI1IBKCWL1VE/b888e790-9354-4618-bde0-efe483fd9018.JPG Our Team - Ledeebari F. Nwizug I am Nigerian from Rivers state precisely. I studied environmental science at the University of Port Harcourt. I currently work within the creative media space as a content creator. This medium allows me to express my inner prowess. I am a volunteer/speaker on the Educate our girl's team. I have seen African women and women from other parts of the world display strength, dignity, and competence but struggle to reach their optimum potentials because of certain beliefs and barriers society has placed. I want to change this narrative and I consider it best to start from the grassroots. I might not be Wonderwoman and I don't expect this change to happen in a twinkle of an eye, however, I believe in the power of collective effort and consistency this is why I am part of the Educate our girls project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/3ceaee58-76bd-48b2-abd3-a511ba09f13c/portrait_dami-2.jpeg Our Team - Damilola Adenuga I am Nigerian and proud. I am a part of the Educate Our Girls team where we collectively continue to push for leveling the playing field by supporting female education. I currently work as a Mobile Financial Services Integration Engineer. My day-to-day work facilitates financial inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked in Africa - predominantly women. An enormous digital divide exists, particularly in developing countries, whereby girls and women often have less access to technology and the internet. I have a deep passion for women, equality, and technology. I am committed to empowering girls by helping them attain expertise in one or more of the wide range of competencies that exist in technology. I also volunteer with Goodera to help read stories to kids in public schools with identified lack of resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612819443649-HF5E81FKALW7B4VZLCH6/1737EA40-7462-4E1A-B4CB-519D7228B88F.jpg Our Team - Desire C. Igweh I am a Nigerian, born and raised in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. A graduate, currently with a Law firm and working as a director of a Nursery, Primary, and Secondary School in the city of Port-Harcourt. I’ve always had a passion for educating young girls knowing how I struggled growing up as a teenager and the challenges life threw at me. I knew I would one day grow up to coach and tell the story to the young, talented, and brilliant young women. Knowledge they say is power, why then should we intentionally bestow power to a particular gender? I believe acquiring knowledge is important and gender should not stand in the way of one’s education. I have seen young women live in fear, I have seen young women kept in the dark, I have seen young women silenced, abused, relegated, and the list goes on. I’m currently a speaker and mentor at Educate Our Girls. I also work as an aid with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Port-Harcourt chapter to oversee the affairs of women especially young women because I strongly believe that women are important too. I have recently received an award of ‘Excellent Service to Humanity’ by the Association of journalists of broadcasters, Nigeria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/126a8265-e717-48c5-b32c-4477b5b1b7e4/WhatsApp+Image+2025-02-26+at+11.26.57.jpeg Our Team - Ifeanyichukwu Okpala I am the youngest of three sisters who grew up in a society where I witnessed girls from underprivileged backgrounds being denied access to basic resources. With my diplomatic approach, strong background in brand marketing, and diverse skill set encompassing copywriting, brand storytelling, and content creation, I am dedicated to documenting and showcasing often overlooked narratives. My aim is to provide impactful support for the creation of access to education for underprivileged girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/70f27ea5-03d8-4729-bbde-e18259f5117f/2fa65ae2-352d-414a-842f-b1ecf9686030.jpeg Our Team - Phebe Ayi West I am a medical doctor and I am passionate about women’s health and gender parity. My favourite thing to do is defy the odds. I am a team player, a mentor and an empath. I have some experience in public speaking especially to youths. I hope to inspire the next generation of women by supporting and advocating for young girls to have access to good formal education. I became a volunteer specifically to help create fair opportunities for girls in underrepresented communities as well as actively educate them. Girls whose education have been neglected to prioritise other needs. I strongly believe that every girl child deserves an opportunity to see the woman she can become when she is also given a chance to try. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/51d87b11-7e59-4df8-a4eb-bb62d7494a29/54c6fadb-a699-4b34-a5ab-98d50fd8b610.jpeg Our Team - Grace Kalu-Anyah A Nigerian from Ohafia, raised in Port Harcourt. I have a first degree in Engineering and studying for a Masters in Computing. I have experience working in the FinTech sector where I have seen how technology and education can address social issues that affect women and girls across Africa. I firmly believe that educating girls directly impacts their likelihood of escaping poverty when they become women, this drives my commitment to addressing inequality, improving access to education and combating violence against women. As a director and volunteer with Educate Our Girls, I contribute my technical skills and cultural insights to develop innovative solutions for the organisation. I am also a member of the Market March organisation working to end the normalised sexual harassment and bullying of women in Nigerian markets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/b325daeb-e695-4d6c-b007-7752c65f5114/226d2e28-eb71-4756-991f-3efa9f5d18c9+2.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/904253a2-b0a9-4faf-b730-e8242fcf1e52/IMG_0270+2.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/dea4620a-ac6a-4b3b-8986-7069bea5e941/IMG_4207.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/fd623963-f054-40dc-b9a2-e11e33637873/5D8D06FD-623C-47A4-BAE2-00216BF04DEB.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/23def826-9805-4554-86a3-a0b5b7f6f963/IMG_5200.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/3d3afcf3-cdbc-4a73-a736-e8622e7aca61/IMG_0275+2.JPG Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/4ce9aad3-a4f3-414c-886e-9289e2d7ea61/IMG_0313+2.JPG Our Team https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/community daily 0.75 2021-03-01 https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/aisha daily 0.75 2021-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612609683773-N7EY3F740U51ZRTFN4JW/IMG_4627%252B2.jpg AISHA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612609813692-TDDTX8ADRAQRYZMFNYIE/9DC083ED-6726-40CA-81B1-B06FA9DC12EE_1_105_c.jpg AISHA https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/donate daily 0.75 2025-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/c6b5a0b3-8623-4db7-8baf-8cac4dc64b94/IMG_1751.jpg https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/mentorship daily 0.75 2022-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1612617825208-YVHQWHJKK7R5MBT34QT7/IMG_4189.jpg Mentorship - Why mentorship is important When quality education is accompanied by mentorhsip, students benefit immensely.

Being female, rural, and underprivileged has been described as a triple handicap. Our vision is to bridge the education gap between young boys and girls in Africa; in turn, reducing the overall illiteracy levels within the continent and creating the next generation of resourceful women. We however want every girl to know that their voice deserves to be heard and it can change the world. This goal is achieved by sponsoring and mentoring secondary school girls; making quality education accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding. Each year, we will run a campaign project across several rural communities; speaking to 100’s of young girls inspiring them, and enlightening them on the power of education. We will also award one girl each year with a full scholarship, sponsoring her through secondary school. We hope that each year, the number of young girls we can sponsor grows and we are able to have an impact on levelling the playing field. — Adila Darego Founder, Mentor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/0aeb8cd9-46cd-4597-be1b-b1da8077a46e/B6B1190D-17FE-4F88-90D6-95B205D87B4E.jpeg Our Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/b4f0db6b-2ea8-4f3d-a12f-a3a4cb3e13f1/IMG_4453.JPG Our Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1647987990161-ZHWF39N4BB6JVCFK2GIP/unsplash-image-OIuCXxx08yg.jpg Our Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/6357527f-861b-4bff-a612-68d711ac41d3/B266278B-F7AE-4391-8F4C-B519BFA7B344.jpeg Our Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1647985496210-KCBKXMMXR4D9HO1FCZ1W/unsplash-image-O9pmqUq1uOU.jpg Our Vision https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1735824857746-R6RTEGI8GOORP1LAH863/unsplash-image-AQ908FfdAMw.jpg Our Vision https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/volunteer daily 0.75 2022-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/7bbb8d06-00ac-4006-a221-a62508f50ade/f6ef8d82-9370-44b5-9ccc-ba4887078e49.JPG Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/ce8cc08b-4171-4416-881c-7ad443f25421/D0D550C7-81D9-494D-A397-057B20316C87.jpeg Volunteer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1632573788001-IWRHZ12I74SZAA450F74/A16848D8-9B5E-49D4-8D43-5B8D7F93A6E1.jpg Volunteer https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/donationform daily 0.75 2021-02-23 https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/christabel daily 0.75 2024-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1633381018245-CCEKOIB3FWF9VMC5FOG4/IMG_6101.jpg CHRISTABEL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1633381048653-XAUC62UWDEDKK14A8PYG/IMG_6118.JPG CHRISTABEL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/1633381116224-B3RSW4QFAYXRXRYZUT2V/IMG_6106.JPG CHRISTABEL https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/happyness daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/4c2cea23-00ce-4878-81d1-87d1eee486df/IMG_4211_jpg.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/d495090f-a5aa-4482-a610-a4a4811b036f/IMG_5798_jpg.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/202ac13d-6674-4660-89ed-61d75c2c431a/IMG_5817_jpg.JPG https://www.educateourgirlsfoundation.org/christabel-copy-1 daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/436e31c0-e175-492a-9c0a-ed4a4df1e15b/IMG_4455_jpg.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601b16d08a43a3228c39f118/b4f0db6b-2ea8-4f3d-a12f-a3a4cb3e13f1/IMG_4453.JPG
