EM Power
Empower – The Emerging Markets Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that ties the resources of Emerging Markets (EM) professionals world-wide with the vitality of community-based social sector initiatives in developing countries.
Exotix donated US$35,000 which will support several EM Power Girls Power Initiative programs in Nigeria: an enterprise program for youth (adolescent boys) to learn about different paths to generate income generation (sewing, mechanics, and electricity) including sectors that are typically reserved for the other sex; a holiday program for secondary school girls (age 10-18) who live in rural areas and cannot attend the weekly GPI sessions. Finally, Exotix donation will support 2 individuals each quarter to take part in GPI’s internship program, which builds the capacity of youth workers in programming for girls.
