Breaking Barriers, Building Sustainable Futures Through STEM
The Empowered Girls in Science Initiative (EGISI) is an impact-driven, non-profit organization incorporated on March 20, 2025 (as per Corporate Affairs Commission Certified Extract), operating from Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. We exist to protect rights, cultivate technical capability, and uplift vulnerable female demographicsâspecifically underprivileged secondary students, out-of-school girls, and teenage mothers.
By delivering structural academic resources, high-level mentorship, practical training, and certified micro-entrepreneurship programs, we empower marginalized young women to bypass systemic socioeconomic roadblocks and thrive as front-line innovators within technical engineering ecosystems.
Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)
Registered as a Corporate Affairs Commission Certified Org: No. CAC/IT/No. 8354770. Under strict verification parameters, we maintain statutory reporting compliance in Nigeria.
Our Mission
To empower young girls, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, by providing resources, mentorship, and hands-on training in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), thereby fostering their curiosity, deepening their understanding, and bridging the gender gap in these critical fields.
