Our
Background
The Trust was founded by an educationist, sport scientist and philanthropist, Rita Tiriboyi. As a young gender advocate and a victim of PHD (pull her down) syndrome as she was growing up, Rita realised the great damages that can be done to human and more specifically women psychology. She acknowledges that all children are born with vital potential accompanied with great levels of self-esteem that helps them to reach the self-actualisation stages in life, that is, the greatest achievement that makes one very happy and satisfied. However, what a child goes through while growing up may destroy this potential. Manipulation of a human mind through abuse, exploitation or negligence of certain rights can surely lead to psychological trauma which automatically damages the self-esteem. As a result, people will lose self-confidence and lose hope over pursuing and exploring their potential.
RIGE was then formed from this basis, and it will focus more on girls and young women after realising that they are the most vulnerable to this cognitive damage since they are most emotional beings. RIGE seeks to liberate the girls’ and young women’s minds so that they focus more on achieving their dreams despite any negative circumstances they may find themselves in.
