Deris Empowerment Initiative is a registered Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). We are dedicated to uplifting women and families at the grassroots by providing affordable financing that supports small businesses, strengthens families, and boosts local economies.
But our commitment goes beyond finance. We believe education is a powerful tool for change. Through knowledge-sharing, training, and the development of transferable skills, we help individuals become self-reliant, employable, and even creators of jobs within their communities. We also prioritize access to primary healthcare services — from routine health checks to medication support and lifestyle sensitization — ensuring healthier lives and stronger communities. At Deris, our goal is simple: to give every person the opportunity to live a life of dignity, free from poverty, and full of potential.
To empower underserved communities by providing affordable finance, quality education, and essential healthcare, fostering self-reliance, dignity, and sustainable grassroots development.
We envision a world where every person can access the resources they need to live with dignity, achieve their potential, and contribute to inclusive and sustainable communities.
With your support, we want to strengthen the health system, protect people from disease and create a ripple effect in Nigeria, so everyone can learn, earn and thrive. To do this, we need your help.
