Empower Her, Empower The Future
Equipping the next generation of female innovators with tools, mentorship, and opportunities.
Our Story
Digital Literacy for the Girl Child
“Empower Her – Empower the Future” was born out of a deep passion for breaking barriers and creating opportunities for young girls in underdeveloped communities. Inspired by the journey of its founder, Promise Ekeh—from growing up in Warri, Nigeria, to earning a distinction in Petroleum Geoscience at Imperial College London—the initiative seeks to address the challenges girls face in accessing quality education, mentorship, and digital skills.
Our Mission
To bridge the digital divide and create a future where every girl, regardless of background, gains digital skills, confidence, and the support needed to thrive and lead in a technology-driven world

About the Founder
This initiative is inspired by her journey as a girl born in Warri, Nigeria, who dared to dream beyond limitations. Growing up in a modest background, she encountered challenges that many young girls in underdeveloped communities face—limited resources, societal expectations, and the absence of role models in STEM. However, she was determined to rewrite her story.
