Since our establishment, our passion has been advocating for positive change and addressing the pressing issues faced by young individuals, especially women, girls, and persons living with disabilities.
I’m devoted to serving humanity across the world by addressing the derivation causes of poverty and empowering communities by addressing short-term needs while looking for long term solutions for better and sunnier future. At FIIG, we firmly believe in the transformative power of youth. We envision a world where every young person, regardless of their gender, tribe, or race, has equal access to opportunities and is empowered to become a leader.
We take a holistic approach to youth development.
