Impact Value
Our Mission.
MorolakeCares Initiatives exists to educate, support, and empower the girl child while strengthening the women, families, and communities around her through practical care.
Why the work matters
Educated girls create a positive ripple effect in their health, families, communities, and society.
How the organization frames the challenge
Morolake Cares identifies early pregnancy, gender inequality, low family income, poverty, and the death of one or both parents as some of the factors that drive high school dropout rates.
Through lived experience and direct community contact, the initiative was also shaped by the need to support widows and women in poverty whose circumstances often affect the girls in their care.
