Frequently Asked Questions

Our mission is to provide sustainable resources and support to underserved communities in Nigeria, focusing on education, healthcare, clean water, and economic empowerment. We believe in creating lasting change through partnership, transparency, and collaboration.

The El-Sekani Foundation has been operating for about 2 years. We started as a grassroots community service group in Abuja and have grown into a structured NGO thanks to the generous assistance of our partners and volunteer base.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Kubwa, Abuja, FCT, Nigeria. We primarily deploy projects within local rural and suburban communities in Abuja and surrounding states where access to clean water, standard education, and social care is heavily restricted.

Our initiatives are intentionally mapped against global indicators:

• SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being): Reduced waterborne illness via clean water and sanitation access.
• SDG 4 (Quality Education): Enhancing learning environments for orphans and underprivileged students.
• SDG 5 (Gender Equality): Financial autonomy and micro-grants targeting marginalized mothers.
• SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation): Borehole drilling and sanitation facilities installations.
• SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities): GEDSI frameworks providing inclusion models for the disabled.
• SDG 13 (Climate Action): Deployment of solar-powered energy pump networks.

GEDSI stands for Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion. For El-Sekani, this guarantees that we analyze and incorporate the needs of women, girls, people with physical impairments, and minority groups at every project stage:

• Deploying wheelchair-accessible paths to water taps.
• Ensuring clean toilets have secure, private facilities for women.
• Maintaining a strict 60% minimum target representation of women and disabled youth across leadership boards and educational programs.
