“The name, ‘The Right Empowerment And Inclusion Initiative’, is a name extracted from the programme itself. There are lots of millions and thousands out there that are left behind, not knowing their rights, not being inclusive, being exempted from the society, rejected and neglected, and from this we were able to extract the name to make people feel belonging, comfortable and help them fight for their deprived rights

“This organisations core area are divided into 3 parts, first, is the access to justice, access to social economic, public interest litigation and fight for the neglected through advocacy and legal agencies.
“Secondly, Is Empowerment, formal and informal I.e the back to school campaign, skill acquisition and lots more.
“Third is the Creative Research, make in-depth research to know the cause of some gender violence, Rampant Ritual killings trends, social menace, social exclusion and lots more, we then put all these scripts together as documentary.
“With lots of supporters, donors, partners and volunteers I’m certain that THEREIIN would grow stronger and as well serve it purpose, this initiative has come to stay, and we as well intend reaching out to grassroots communities where this initiative’s he’ll is needed the most.
Chukwu further thanked those who has been supporting the organisation in one way or the other, and those who took out time to be part of the initiative’s success story.
