About US

Who we are?

The URIO Foundation is a beacon of hope, a non-governmental organization fueled by a powerful vision: to dismantle the twin evils of poverty and gender bias that hold back so much of Africa’s potential. We stand firm in our belief that every individual deserves the chance to thrive, and we work tirelessly to empower communities across the continent.

Our Approach

Our approach is one of collaboration, forging strong partnerships with national and international stakeholders. Together, we champion rights-based education, ensuring everyone has the knowledge and tools to build a brighter future. Financial independence is another cornerstone of our mission. We equip individuals, particularly women, with the skills and resources they need to become self-sufficient, breaking free from the cycle of poverty.

Our vision extends beyond mere survival

We believe women are the engines of change, and we actively promote their participation in leadership, governance, and politics. By fostering a more inclusive society where women’s voices are heard and valued, we unlock Africa’s true potential. We don’t stop there. We also focus on building practical, monetizable skills through capacity improvement programs. This empowers individuals to not just survive, but to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
