About FEYReP

Family Empowerment and Youth Re-Orientation Path-initiative (FEYReP) is a non governmental, not for profit organization based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Established since 2015, the organization was set up with the aim of creating a robust economic empowerment pathway for families and support widowed homes through a well defined economic empowerment framework that is target specific and sustainable.

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

Dear Friends and Partners,

As the founder of FEYReP, I am deeply honored for the support we have enjoyed through you over the years.

Together, we stand at a critical juncture in our journey toward meaningful change, and I want to share our unwavering commitment to empowering rural communities and advocating for justice and equality.

In the heart of every rural community lies the potential to create lasting transformation. At FEYReP, we believe that empowering our youth is essential for building resilient societies. Our youth reorientation programs not only equip young individuals with the skills they need to thrive but also inspire them to become change-makers within their communities. By investing in their potential, we pave the way for a brighter, greater and prosperous future.

As you may already be aware, gender advocacy is at the core of our mission. We are dedicated to advancing the rights of women and girls, championing their voices, and ensuring they have access to opportunities that have historically been out of reach. Together, we can dismantle the barriers that hinder their progress and work toward a society where every individual, regardless of gender, can live free from discrimination and violence.

While access to affordable housing and healthcare is believed to be a fundamental right that we are passionate about promoting, The FEYReP shelter of Hope project has built and donated over 50 homes for indigent families and continues to advance our work in this direction. We are actively working to ensure that every family has a safe and stable place to call home, as well as the healthcare services they need to lead healthy lives. These are essential pillars for thriving communities, and together with our partners - you, we are committed to making them a reality.

Ending gender-based violence (GBV) is not just a priority; it's a necessity. We stand firmly against the injustices faced by women and girls, and we are dedicated to creating more temporary shelters and safe spaces where they can seek help and heal. Our programs focus on prevention, education, and advocacy to create a society in which violence is no longer tolerated and the full wrath of the law is constantly and timely served.

Additionally, addressing the challenges of drug harm reduction and human trafficking is crucial. We believe that every person deserves compassion, support, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. Our initiatives aim to provide resources, education, and advocacy to combat these pressing issues, reinforcing our commitment to human dignity and justice for all.

As we move forward, I am pleased to invite you to join us in our mission. Whether through volunteering, advocating, or donating, your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Let us come together to create a future where our rural communities are empowered, equitable, and thriving.

Thank you for your belief in our vision and for standing with us as we work tirelessly for change.

 

With gratitude and hope,

 

Dr. (Mrs.) Martha Udom Emmanuel
