Who we are

Samuel Ioron Foundation is a non-profit leveraging technology, art, dialogue and co-production processes to improve learning and living outcomes for women, girls and their communities. We achieve these outcomes through teaching, service and empowerment.

Our Vision

A world where women and girls harness technology and education to lead, thrive, and shape equitable communities free from gender-based marginalisation and exploitation.

Our Mission

To break gender barriers hindering women and girl’s access to opportunities and empower them through tech-driven education, leadership development, and access to sexual and reproductive health resources—breaking barriers, fostering equity, and creating pathways for sustainable impact.

We’re on a mission to solve these problems

Governance and Economic Empowerment

Women’s rights are human rights. With the rise in gender-based violence and victimisation of women in diverse spaces, we are using our images and voices to sensitise the inequalities and power relations as related to women’s rights.

Education

Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Ensuring equal access to learning opportunities for children is our ultimate goal.

Health

Menstrual health and well being. This is vital to our communities and us, and we work to ensure women and girls have access to menstrual health education and services.

Some of our projects

IVY

Communities deserve interventions rooted in evidence, not assumptions.

Our 2025 study involving 1,267 displaced residents — taught us:

• What systems are working
• Where fear still exists
• Which reporting pathways are trusted
• What needs stronger investment

Safeguarding is not a document in a drawer, it is how people feel when they interact with your programme.

For us, safeguarding looks like:

• Training every staff and volunteer
• Ensuring reports go only to trained handlers

Ending GBV requires men and boys in the room.

We have seen that:
• When fathers talk to their daughters about boundaries, confidence grows
• When young men challenge harmful jokes, norms shift
• When husbands support their wives’ education or business, households change

The calendar turns, reminding us that every month is a chance for renewed commitment and deeper impact.

This month, we commit anew to turning global pledges into local realities, ensuring the safety and voice of every young woman in our programs.
