Our Motivation

Endonamoo transformation global initiative (ETGIN)

is an upcoming, non-governmental organization

established and registered with CAC in 2015.

“Endonamoo” is a Greek word meaning “to

empower”, which refers to increasing the spiritual,

political, social, educational, gender and economic

strength of individuals and communities. The

mission of this indigenous non-profit organization is

empowering the disadvantaged individuals and

groups in the society. We envision a world where

people are empowered to make an informed

decision which affect their lives positively, and are

emancipated from spiritual, social, economic,

physical and psychological restrictions thereby

improving their quality of life in the society.

According to International Labor Organization, youth

make up 17% of the world's population. There are

1.2 billion youth in the world aged between 15 and

24. 87% of youth live in developing countries. A total

of 357.7 million youth were not in education,

employment, or training (NEET) in 2010, and the

number is increasing. Also in 2010, 536 million of

employed youth in developing countries are

underemployed compared with 1.5million in 27 EU

countries. In developing countries, six out of ten

workers in the 15-29 age groups lacked a stable

employment contract, six out of ten had below

average wages and eight out of ten were in

informal employment in 2012.

It is a well-known fact that seventy-five percent of

the world's poorest countries and countries with

highest proportion of residents living in extreme

poverty are located in subs agrarian Africa (Gallup

World, 2013). The Food and Agriculture

Organization (FAO) of the United Nations

estimated that 239 million people (around 30

percent of the population) in sub-Saharan Africa

were hungry in 2010. This is the highest

percentage of any region in the world. In addition,

the U.N. Millennium Project reported that over 40

percent of all Africans are unable to regularly

obtain sufficient food. Thirty seven percent of 738

million people who lack access to clean water

globally, are living in sub-Saharan Africa, and

coupled with Poverty it results in over 500 million

people suffering from waterborne diseases.

Due to continuing violence, conflict and

widespread human rights abuses, about 38 % (11

million) of the world's refugees exist in Africa

(United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

reports).

More than one million people, mostly children

under the age of five, die every year from malaria.

Malarial deaths in Africa alone account for 90

percent of all malaria deaths worldwide. Eighty

percent of these victims are African children. The

U.N. Millennium Project has calculated that a child

in Africa dies from malaria every 30 seconds, or

about 3,000 each day

Fewer than 20 percent of African women have

access to education. Uneducated African women

are twice as likely to contract AIDS and 50 percent

less likely to immunize their children. Women in

sub-Saharan Africa are over 230 times more likely

to die during childbirth or pregnancy than women

in North America. Approximately one in 16 women

living in sub-Saharan African will die during

childbirth or pregnancy.

According to a 2013 global review of available

data, 35 per cent of women worldwide have

experienced either physical and/or sexual

intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual

violence. More often than not, cases of violence

against women go unreported.

Worldwide, more than 700 million women alive

today were married as children (below 18 years of

age). More than one in three or some 250

million—were married before 15. Child brides are

often unable to effectively negotiate safer sex,

leaving themselves vulnerable to sexually

transmitted infections, including HIV, along with

early pregnancy. The fact that girls are not

physically mature enough to give birth, places

both mothers and their babies at risk. Poor girls

are also 2.5 times more likely to marry in childhood

than their wealthy counterparts.

Harmful practice of female genital mutilation

(FGM) involving more than 133 million girls and

women is common in the 29 countries in Africa.

Beyond extreme physical and psychological pain,

girls who undergo FGM are at risk of prolonged

bleeding, infection (including HIV), infertility,

complications during pregnancy and death.

All these alarming statistical facts compel

ETGIN to call for combining efforts to alleviate

these problems and empower the youths, poor,

widows, orphans, the vulnerable women and

children in the developing world thereby

ensuring better quality of life.

We empower the Youth by providing guidance

and counseling services, Skill acquisition and

vocational training program. Leadership and

entrepreneurs' capacity development, support

and Training them to practice safe sexual

health.

We also empower the health of individuals and

groups in the community through community

health promotion and education; providing free

medical and dental consultation and services

to rural communities, improving reproductive

and family health status of the People group in

the community.

We empower women and vulnerable children

by ensuring the right of all women and children

to live in violence-free families and

communities, to be treated with respect and

dignity, to make their own decisions and impact

their own lives, and to provide assistance and

support to vulnerable children and women and

protection to those prone to abuse.
