Achebe Trust


Founded by Tochii and Qaisha Achebe

The home of our family’s charitable work. It began with one woman, and it carries her example forward through education, digital skills and mentoring.

Where would you like to start?

Tochii and Qaisha Achebe founded Achebe Trust to hold their family’s charitable work under one name.

Its first initiative is The Nwa Amaka Achebe Empowerment Foundation, which works in Nigeria to open access to education, digital skills and mentoring. The Foundation was created in honour of Tochii’s mother.
