About Us
The Emmanuel Ivorgba Center, established in 2017, is a non-governmental, non-profit organization with Special Consultative Status with UN ECOSOC. Its primary mission is to develop sustainable pathways for vulnerable populations—especially women and youth—to achieve social cohesion, economic independence, and active civic participation. Committed to tackling the root causes of inequality, violence, and social fragmentation, the Center implements innovative programs centered on empowerment, dialogue, and community-led solutions. It provides livelihood skills training, mentorship, and support services designed to foster economic self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and social inclusion. Through these initiatives, the Center has successfully equipped hundreds of women and young people with practical skills, enabling them to generate income and enhance their social standing. As a result, its efforts have contributed to reducing poverty and violence within targeted communities, instilling hope and resilience.
The Emmanuel Ivorgba Center is a registered non-governmental organization in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission (RC: 95454 | SCUML: 350942), and the Benue State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare (MWASW/ASS/6184).
