Dr. Funmilayo Arowoogun
President — BOT
Business consultant and agribusiness entrepreneur. Leads the foundation’s strategic direction and governance.
Founded in 2020 and registered as a non-profit organisation in Nigeria, DEW Empowerment Foundation exists for a single reason: to make sure that being born vulnerable does not have to mean a life of limited choices.
We work through education, skills development, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and access to opportunities — practical interventions that break poverty cycles, build confidence, and put girls back in charge of their own futures.
We imagine a Nigeria — and a continent — where girls aren’t held back by poverty, gender-based violence, or limited educational access. Where leadership comes naturally because the pipeline has been there since secondary school.
We work close to the ground. Decisions are made with the girls we serve, not for them.
Empowerment is not a one-off event. We commit to long-term relationships, not transactions.
We give what is asked for and needed — exercise books, uniforms, fees, skills, mentorship — and measure what actually changes.
Every girl is treated with dignity. We are partners in her future, never gatekeepers of it.
