Evidence, Voice and Opportunity for the Niger Delta.
Our work runs on two connected tracks. One helps communities document environmental harm and demand accountability. The other gives young people the digital skills to build their future where they are.

What We've Built So Far
FlagshipEnvironmental JusticeFirst cohort complete
EnvironAction
EnvironAction trains young people and community members to document environmental harm and turn it into advocacy. Participants learn photography, videography and storytelling, then work as environmental monitors using CoMapeo, a community mapping app. In Bille, monitors uncovered toxic gas eruptions that had never been recorded. The program has since expanded to Rumuekpe clan and Gio community.

Future Techies Fellowship
Our flagship digital skills program and the next chapter of the Skills to Empowerment Program we launched in 2024. Fellows from rural Niger Delta communities train in in-demand skills like web design, UI/UX design, graphic design and digital marketing, so they can build careers and lead change without leaving their communities.
