Purple Tie Foundation

We award annual scholarships to Grade 12 students in Strathcona County, with applications open from January to March and awards given in April. Beyond this, we also organize annual essay writing and debate contests for 200 students across 20 public schools in Ikot Ekpene, Nigeria.

Through our school outreach visits, we deliver anti-racism and mental health workshops to students in Grades 7-9. These programs are designed to equip young people for future challenges and encourage their active involvement in the community.

We host Youth Leadership Forums and other events focused on cultural awareness. Our goal is to foster understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures, promoting a more inclusive environment.

In collaboration with guidance counselors, we provide in-class presentations as part of our mental wellness workshops. These sessions offer crucial health education and resources, supporting the overall well-being of young individuals.
