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

RU’s Rightful

The project has produced a digital and published art book of stories of human right violations as it affects children, women and persons living with disabilities.

IVY

Ivy is an art-based project using illustrative storytelling and cultural dialogue to break language and communication barriers hindering effective implementation of interventions in rural communities with a campaign against child marriage and school dropouts.

MentorUs

MentorUs is a project by Samuel Ioron Foundation created for girls between the ages of 15 and 20, aimed at building up their self-confidence, knowledge, and social skills to make them efficient and effective social leaders of NOW.
