Aghore Rewards
- Empowering Women and Girls to achieve sustainable development
HOW WE HELP
Sanitary Pad Distribution
Managing a period is challenging enough, but enduring it under the weight of a cultural taboo is a burden no girl should carry.
Even more heartbreaking is that many girls lack access to basic sanitary pads. The resulting shame is so profound that they often miss school, sacrificing their education for a biological cycle.
While we provide quarterly distributions to underserved communities, it isn’t enough to sustain them year-round. We need your support to ensure every girl has the dignity and resources she deserves every single month.
Advocacy & Rehabilitation
In the United States, nearly 80% of sexual assaults remain unreported.
In Nigeria, that silence is even deeper, cloaked in stigma and systemic barriers.
We must rise as unwavering advocates for these women and girls, ensuring their voices are finally heard.
Our mission is to dismantle Human Trafficking, Gender-Based Violence, Child Marriage, and Female Genital Mutilation.
Beyond advocacy, we provide the essential resources, education, and vocational training needed to rebuild lives.
Aghore Rewards, What's in a Name?
The Aghore Rewards is named after Madam Aghore Ogbeide (nee Ahabue), a successful businesswoman and the maternal grandmother of Emmanuel J. Osemota.
She was born in Orhua, Uhunmwonde Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria.
In an age where very few women in the society had a voice or sense of belonging in a patriarchal society, Madam Aghore waded through it, educating, providing, and encouraging members of her community. As a mother of three girls, it was thrust upon her to encourage and provide for her girls to get educated and to be able to stand up for themselves.
With her girls serving as her inspiration, she became a woman leader in her local community. Inspiring countless women and girls, providing and encouraging them to become the best version of themselves. Also, she inspired men too.
On her retirement from active service to humanity as a woman leader, she continued serving her creator for the rest of her life. Aghore was an active member of St. John’s Anglican Church Orhua.
Where she formed the church group called Afiangbe meaning (Blessing), she also organized a dance group.
Aghore finally passed on to be with the LORD on Dec 27th, 1992.
