Our Story
The Ejaosan Network began in 2016 with a simple act of kindness: support for one girl who was at risk of leaving school. That small, human gesture became a promise — to make learning possible, safe, and joyful for girls who are often overlooked. From a single scholarship and community conversation, we listened, learned, and grew. We piloted literacy clubs, mentorship circles and creative leadership labs, and partnered with schools, families and local organisations.
​
What started as help for one child is now direct support for hundreds of girls and a wider impact reaching thousands through our programmes, research and storytelling. We combine practical school support with mentorship and creative skills so girls can shape their futures and the public conversations that affect them. Every classroom we support and every story we share is a reminder that when a girl is given the chance to learn, whole communities rise.

"After my father passed, I gave up hope of ever returning to school. Thank you for bringing me hope again".

“Before I joined the mentorship programme, I wasn't sure what path to take. I was struggling with my studies and feeling lost. My mentor helped me discover my strengths and guided me every step of the way. Now, I’m on track to graduate —something I never thought was possible before."
