Salma Attah Foundation for Women and Girls Support (SAFWGS) is a nonprofit organization driven by the mission to uplift women and girls in Nigeria. We focus on equipping them with skills, knowledge, and opportunities to actively participate in societal development.
Founded on the conviction that no one should be left behind, we work tirelessly from rural communities to urban centers to shift mindsets, policies, and possibilities.
We believe that gender equality and women's empowerment require a holistic approach addressing education, health, civic participation, and advocacy. Our work cuts across communities, policies, and lives through targeted interventions.
By combining education and skills development with civic participation initiatives, we create pathways for women and girls to thrive as leaders and change-makers in their communities.
Three interconnected focus areas driving sustainable change and empowering generations. Our portfolio is designed to create lasting impact through systemic reform and individual skill-building.
