Education and youth opportunity in the Ikot Ekpene region and government secondary schools across the state.
Essay writing & debate
Each year, students from more than 20 government secondary schools come together through Purple Tie’s essay writing and debate competitions. The program challenges students to think critically and articulate their ideas in front of their communities.
Girls’ education is a central part of our work. The competitions recognize students’ ideas and achievement, with scholarships and educational resources supporting their next steps.
