The Foundation was created to build opportunity by teaching the value of self-empowerment and self-improvement. Its programs help make sure that essential services such as healthcare, health education, recreation and vocational training reach disadvantaged people in the Niger Delta.
The skills acquisition program is the Foundation’s flagship. Every year, scholarships help people from Okrika learn skills they can earn a living from, in response to the unemployment facing the host communities.
Beneficiaries complete one year of intensive professional training at reputable institutes and receive a professional certificate when they graduate. After graduation, the Foundation gives each person a start-up kit to help them build a business.
The program was born out of a wish to motivate and inspire young girls. It is aimed at female undergraduates in tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
Quarterly discussions help shape students’ mindsets, point them toward a career path that fits their passions, and give them the skills they need to reach their goals.
The MGE Graduate Health, Safety and Environment course is a six-week program sponsored by the Foundation. It is for graduates who want HSE 1 and 2 certificates to add to their first degree.
The course is designed for young graduates looking for work and career growth. The professional certification strengthens their profile and improves their chances of landing a full-time job.
The Foundation donates sportswear to schools in Okrika for recreation and school sports events.
Camps, clinics and training sessions are planned in these sports:
