Nigat:

Illuminating Hope, Diginity, & Opportunity.


In Amharic, 'Nigat' means 'Morning Light,' 'Dawn,' or 'New Opportunity.' It symbolizes a fresh start—bringing hope, restoring dignity, and unlocking the promise of new possibilities.

Our name reflects our commitment to unlocking the immense potential within the communities we serve (Women, potential migrants, migrant workers, returnees, survivors of trafficking & youth). We aim to ignite hope, restore dignity, and break through the darkness of exploitation by fostering empowerment and driving transformative change both locally and globally.

At Nigat, we believe in tackling global challenges through local solutions, bold actions, and a forward-thinking vision. We bridge grassroots efforts with international advocacy, shining a light on injustice and creating pathways to freedom, dignity, and lasting opportunities for all.

Together, we are building a future where every individual can thrive.
