Exciting News!
We’re proud to share that Direct Impact Empowerment Foundation is now officially registered in Switzerland and Nigeria — a huge milestone that strengthens our ability to reach even more lives.
From our base in Apata, Ibadan, Nigeria, we’re building a model for youth empowerment through skill acquisition, entrepreneurial support, and community-driven projects. By equipping young people with the tools they need to succeed, we’re helping them transform their lives, their families, and their communities.
Our journey is just beginning — and we’re excited to keep growing, one empowered youth at a time.
We go to the people every other system has missed.
Registered in Switzerland and Nigeria, we walk alongside vulnerable people from crisis to independence.

Looking away has always been the most difficult thing to do. And so, year after year, we have found ourselves deeper in the trenches of humanity, walking alongside people that every other system has left behind.
Before we helped a single person, we invested in formal NGO management training for our in-country CEO. We registered in two countries. We built the governance structures first. Because we refused to let this be the blind leading the blind.
We look forward to the day when the weight of this work is shared. Until that day, we will keep going.
