Onawo Foundation

Joint Healthcare Initiatives

We envision collaborating on projects such as mobile health clinics to provide access to essential medications and training for local healthcare workers

Educational Empowerment (including ICT and Out-of-School

Children)

We seek to bridge the digital divide by establishing ICT training centers equipped with modern technology and staffed by qualified instructors. Critically, we aim to provide educational opportunities for out-of school children, including Almajiri, by building schools and hostels. This initiative will provide a safe and nurturing environment, keeping them off the streets and discouraging parents from sending them out to beg.

Geriatric Care Programs

We aim to address the unique needs of elderly individuals in our communities by providing access to specialized healthcare services, including home care, physiotherapy, and mental health support.

Empowering the Girl Child

We are committed to empowering young girls in underserved communities through educational support, mentorship programs, and life skills training. We aim to address the specific challenges faced by girls, such as access to quality education, early marriage, and gender-based violence.

Vocational Skills Development

We seek to expand our vocational training programs, focusing on skills relevant to the local economy, such as tailoring, hairdressing, or carpentry, crafts etc.
