OUR PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES
EKAP ACHI Foundation (EkAF) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization with major focus on reducing poverty. Since inception in 1997, EKAP ACHI Foundation has been involved in community intervention programmes.
EkAF is registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and based in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State.
We are envisioned on the eradication of rural poverty from project specific perspectives encapsulated on the key frames of environment, health and governance and our mission is to empower the rural population to make informed decisions and life choices.
Our objectives include;
o To promote the participatory involvement of rural people in their development and self-help initiatives
o To promote and encourage the reduction of gender inequality
o To strengthen and encourage networking among groups for exposure, education, information and communication
- To promote and encourage sexual and reproductive health as well as HIV and AIDS intervention in communities
We carry out activities such as community mobilization, research, advocacy, trainings, project design and implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
EkAF has a 3-member Board of Trustees and an 8-member advisory board of seasoned professionals and experts to guide projects and programmes implementations.
