We are a global movement for rights of vulnerable women
Civitas Auxillium Foundation CAF was co-founded in 2021 by Stephen Enada and Elizabeth Duile, who both believe that vulnerability caused by violent conflicts and terrorism should not hinder people, especially women, from living out their potential and achieving their life goals.
Our project’s specific objectives are to:
- Increase the financial abilities of women and enhance their capabilities to provide for their families; educate their children; access better health, clothing, and shelter for their children; reduce poverty; and attain improved standards of living.
- Advance gender equality, equity, and the empowerment of women, and ensuring elimination of all kinds of violence against women and children through full participation in social and economic spectra at all levels and bringing women into the mainstream of development.
Our services
- CAF hinges its programs on the power of capacity building and empowerment.
- Our Women Empowerment Program (WEP) is designed to help our beneficiaries find their voice, and defeat poverty.
- CAF, through its WEP, will contribute by working to build the competencies and capacities of its beneficiaries through social and economic empowerment, thereby equipping them with the necessary skills and experience to improve their livelihood, and start and manage their own businesses after they receive funds in the form of cash flow lending or asset financing.
Our purpose
CAF is registered in Nigeria as a Non-Governmental, Non-Profit organization working to address issues of poverty and gender inequality affecting women. CAF programs are uniquely designed to reach families through women who are victims of violent conflicts and terrorism in Nigeria.
These acts are flagrant human rights violations and are barriers to social justice, peace, and economic development. Sadly, Nigeria’s victims of terrorism and violence have not found the assistance they deserve.
CAF is committed to ensuring that victims of violent conflicts are empowered through its WEP, the beneficiaries’ competencies and capacities will be built through social and economic empowerment, thereby equipping them with the necessary skills and experience to improve their livelihood, start and manage their businesses, following provision of funds, either as cash flow lending or asset financing.
Our uniqueness
CAF is a people-focused organization, we exist to serve!
The critical failure of leadership and governance in Nigeria has resulted in gross poverty and unemployment levels among women both in urban and rural communities.
CAF supports and economically empowers women by building their competencies and capacities to participate constructively in development processes through the provision of financial, entrepreneurial, and vocational training, followed by funds or asset transfer to the target beneficiaries.
This will address vulnerabilities, the vicious cycle of poverty and hopelessness which many women and families find impossible to overcome. We are people-centered, and we focus on capacity building and mentorship for the socially and economically disadvantaged.
