Unravelling EJRAID: A Legacy of Empowerment and Impact
For seven years, the Elizabeth Jack-Rich Aid Foundation (EJRAID) has stood as a beacon of hope, transforming lives and empowering communities across Nigeria and beyond. Guided by a deep commitment to fostering equality and opportunity, EJRAID has left an indelible mark through impactful programs, charity events, and academic scholarships. Today, we reflect on this journey of empowerment and envision a future filled with even greater promise.
Our story began with a simple yet profound mission: to uplift the underserved, empower women, and inspire generations. What started as a grassroots initiative has blossomed into a movement that bridges gaps, creates opportunities for women and children, and contributes to economic growth. At the heart of our mission lies our core belief that sustainable socio-economic change is possible when women, children and youth are given the tools they need to succeed.
Empowerment Programs: Creating Hope In Nigeria
Living under the Nigerian economic climate teaches you that everything that can go wrong may go wrong at the same time. In recent times, society has had to fight decadence and corruption, embezzlement in public offices, and the steep standard of living. In the wake of all of this, EJRAID entered the scene with a mission to create opportunities for women, alleviate poverty and give hope to underserved communities.
Over the years, EJRAID has implemented a diverse range of empowerment programs tailored to meet the unique needs of women, youth, and underserved communities. These programs have not only transformed individual lives of women in the nation but also sparked ripples of progress across entire regions.
- Women’s Business Development Program: As one of our major initiatives, this program has equipped thousands of women with the skills and resources needed to start and sustain their own businesses. From vocational training to small business funds, we have witnessed women rise above challenges to become pillars of their communities.

- Youth Skill Acquisition: Recognizing the potential of Nigeria’s vibrant youth population, EJRAID has invested heavily in skill acquisition programs. By offering training in technology, agriculture, fashion and creative arts, we have empowered young people to pursue their passions and contribute meaningfully to society.

- Educational Scholarships: With education as the core of growth, and the decline in the percentage of educated children in Nigeria, EJRAID set to work to balance the scales by supporting excellent children across the country in pursuing their educational goals. Through our academic scholarship programs, we have supported hundreds of students from primary to tertiary levels, enabling them to pursue their dreams without the burden of financial constraints. These scholarships are a testament to our commitment to nurturing the leaders, innovators, and change makers of tomorrow.

Reflecting on the Past, Envisioning the Future
As we reflect on the impact of our work, we are filled with gratitude for the lives we have touched and the partnerships that have made our journey possible. But this is not the end; it is a new beginning. The legacy of EJRAID is not just about the milestones we’ve achieved—it is about the enduring impact we strive to create.
