About Us

Our Story.

Ravens Foundation is a non-governmental organization founded in 2018 by a group of friends, driven by the passion to impact and mentor young girls and teenage mothers into becoming fulfilled individuals.

They looked at the plight of girls and indeed women in their different villages and saw the suffering they are going through, with many teenage girls becoming mothers at a tender age, moreover having to raise their children under very tough conditions, some of them even being abused by their spouses. And so, they felt that by virtue of the education they have attained, they could do something to change the plight of such girls, women and the whole community.

RAVENS FOUNDATION.
