Empowering vulnerable migrants, Kaneng Rwang Pam Foundation fosters awareness, support, and community resilience
Welcome to the Kaneng Rwang Pam Foundation for Migration Awareness, a non-governmental organization deeply committed to fostering positive change in communities across Nigeria and Africa. Grounded in the principles of compassion, empowerment, and resilience, our foundation tackles critical issues such as illegal migration, vulnerability, poverty, and injustice. Discover the comprehensive scope of our organization through the lens of our multifaceted aims and objectives.
The primary mission of KRP FEMA is to diminish the vulnerability of women and children to human trafficking, illegal migration, and exploitation. Our comprehensive strategy involves a multi-activity plan targeting increased awareness and economic empowerment, particularly among at-risk groups in rural communities. This plan incorporates a spectrum of log frame activities encompassing advocacy, sensitization, campaigns, peer education, community mobilization, victim identification, and counseling, as well as documentation and filing processes. Additionally, our initiatives extend to shelter operation and management, spiritual counseling, case management, psychosocial support, reintegration, social inclusion, skills acquisition, education, and empowerment for both families and communities, with a specific focus on family tracing and reunion. Founded by Kaneng Rwang-Pam, a seasoned broadcaster and market development consultant, KRP FEMA is mentored by MeCAHT, renowned producers of “Europe In My Heart.” With a track record in anti-human trafficking efforts since 2007 in Nigeria and Europe, Kaneng Rwang-Pam is a certified trainer for CMD and a national resource facilitator for organizations such as CRUDAN, NAPTIP, UN Women, and UNODC, demonstrating a commitment to peacebuilding and conflict transformation.
Our Core Values
What we do as an Organization
Spelling Bee, proudly sponsored by Phillips Consulting and KRPFEMA, is an engaging secondary school competition that cultivates literacy skills, promotes learning, and fosters community involvement among students.
The Next Economy, a collaborative initiative by SOS Children's Village Nigeria and KRPFEMA, empowers Nigerian graduates with essential business skills and work-related expertise, enhancing their capabilities for success in the business world and labor market
GIZ GOPA Training, sponsored by GIZ and KRPFEMA, empowers unemployed Nigerian youths with business-oriented skills, aiming to equip them with the expertise needed for successful entrepreneurship, breaking the chains of unemployment.
KRPFEMA is dedicated to combatting child abuse and human trafficking, working tirelessly to protect vulnerable individuals. Through advocacy, awareness, and support, we strive to create a safer, more secure future.
Originally known as Project BIHA, KRPFEMA (Kaneng Rwang Pam Foundation for Education and Migration Awareness) emerged from the necessity of organizational expansion. Acknowledging the growing breadth of our mission and the imperative for a more extensive impact, we transitioned from Project BIHA to KRPFEMA, aligning with our commitment to education and migration awareness on a broader scale. The KRP-FEMA BIHA Project stands as a dynamic and comprehensive initiative devoted to catalyzing positive change within communities.
With a multifaceted approach, the project addresses critical health issues through Women’s Health and Cancer Awareness Advocacy, reaching diverse locations, including IDP camps in Plateau and Kaduna States. The Media 4 Advocacy component leverages a two-year radio program on KT 103.9 FM Jos to fervently raise community awareness about the dangers of illegal migration.
The project extends its support to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) through charity and psychosocial support programs, recognizing the distinctive challenges faced by this vulnerable group. Education Advocacy emerges as a pivotal aspect, focusing on co-curricular content development, teacher training, spelling bee competitions, school rating, and policy discussions, aiming to elevate educational standards and discourse for community development.
HOW WE WORK
(1) We float media and community-driven discussion & debate platforms on the inclusion of women in pro-cesses using our National gender policy as guide in order to help development partners better capture the gen-der clause when reporting our development process on the one hand. And on the other hand, give policy and decision makers a sense of project uptake and feedback from a demography required to drive the process. A key outcome of these eyeball engagements is that groups and individuals are motivated towards replication of profiled initiatives or to enter into community based collaborations that would deliver concrete change in the lives of our people through women. We work to raise awareness, create debate and secure tangible support for peace, security and growth issues as they concern women & youth.
This strand of work witnessed a hugely successful outing on International Women’s Day 8th March 2014 in collaboration with Grand Cereals Ltd, NASCO Group of Companies featuring debates on the inclusion of women in political processes and their role in anti human trafficking empowerment campaigns with over 200 individuals and organizations from media, civil society and non Governmental organizations in attendance.
(2) BIHA youth anti human trafficking preventive education programmes (detailed bellow in a 4-year planned project summary) aimed at making our young people less vulnerable to human trafficking by (a) rais-ing 30-150,000 youth ambassadors (b) peer educators through training of trainers (c) successful small busi-ness role models through start up support.
