About Us
We collaborate with grassroots leaders and organizations across underserved rural communities in Nigeria. Together, we work to prevent poverty, empower women and girls, enhance educational opportunities, and build economic resilience through entrepreneurship and decent work, catalyzing locally-led sustainable development from the ground up.
Creating Positive Change Through Collective Actions
We believe that communities understand their challenges best. That is why we work alongside women and girls in rural Nigeria, empowering them as active changemakers within their communities. Through access to quality education, clean and sustainable energy solutions, and practical entrepreneurship training, we support them to build resilient livelihoods, strengthen local economies, and shape sustainable futures for themselves and the generations to come.
Our mission is to empower individuals and communities in underserved and rural areas through inclusive education, capacity building, and access to practical tools that improve livelihoods and learning outcomes.
RUDERF is committed to supporting teachers, learners, and community members by reducing barriers to quality education, strengthening professional skills, and enabling economic participation, especially for women and young people.
Through programs that combine grassroots engagement, digital innovation, and strategic partnerships, we aim to equip educators with the resources they need, help learners succeed in real-world and examination-driven contexts, and foster sustainable development at the community level.
We work to ensure that access to opportunity is not determined by geography, income level, or gender, but by the availability of supportive systems that allow people to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to society.
