About Us

Laraba Tabawa Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established to advance the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of women workers, vulnerable female children, and at-risk youth in Nigeria. The Foundation exists to address systemic inequality, gender-based violence, youth marginalization, and socio-economic barriers that limit the growth and stability of women, girls, and young people, particularly those from marginalized communities. Through advocacy, protection initiatives, and youth education and empowerment programs, the Foundation promotes access to learning opportunities, life skills, mentorship, and economic pathways that equip young people to become confident, productive, and responsible members of society. The Foundation is legally registered in Nigeria as Laraba Tabawa Foundation and operates internationally under the name Laraba Tabawa Foundation, with registration in the United States of America. This dual structure enables the organization to address local realities while engaging global partners, donors, and development stakeholders.

We are committed to building a society rooted in equality, justice, protection, and opportunity—where women thrive as workers and leaders, youth are equipped with purpose and skills, and every child grows in a safe, abuse-free environment.
