About Us
The Amara Girls Initiative (TAGI) is a registered Canadian not-for-profit, established in 2022, working across Canada and the poverty-affected areas of Sub-Saharan Africa to empower girls, young adults, youth and women through education and social justice.
Our Mission
To work with vulnerable communities — helping youth, young adults, children and women, including those affected by HIV/AIDS — gain empowerment through education and access to social justice.
Our 2030 Vision
To continuously address the vulnerabilities of children, young people, youth and women — especially the girl child — through education, health education, community development and agricultural development.
Our Core Values
Commitment, Integrity, Inclusion and Personal Responsibility — the ground we stand on in everything we do.
Empowering girls — in Canada and across the globe
TAGI runs programs in academics, arts, health, life skills, mentorship and peer relations. In Canada we support girls, women and families through community programming — food hampers, vouchers, gift cards and clothing packages. Across Sub-Saharan Africa we focus on education, health, community and agricultural development.
