Our Mission

Equipping Every Girl With Opportunity

Salma Attah Foundation for Women and Girls Support (SAFWGS) is a nonprofit organization driven by the mission to uplift women and girls in Nigeria and beyond. We focus on equipping them with skills, knowledge, and opportunities to actively participate in societal development.

Founded on a conviction that no one should be left behind, SAFWGS grew from grassroots roots into a dynamic force for gender equity and social reform.
