At Extrafemi, we often pride ourselves on our ability to do “extra”. Sometimes this “extra” is measured in metrics like 150% out of 100% but other times, it is measured in heart. Herein lies one of our biggest strengths.
The Extrafemi CSR Project seeks to support non-profit organizations and social enterprises by providing photography, social media, design solutions, or donations absolutely FREE of charge OR discounted for a specific period. Some organizations who have benefited from this project in the past are:
Olmak (formerly Tech-TRNC)
Olmak means "Be" or "Become". Olmak (formerly called "Tech-TRNC") is a community to inspire and drive awareness of the opportunities that exist with/ in technology in North Cyprus, create a talent pool, and connect the talent pipeline to vacancies from employers globally while engaging stakeholders from the private and public sectors to the highest levels of government to advance favorable policies for growth, talent attraction and retention.
Olmak has been featured on National Television in North Cyprus in the Zikoko publicaiton, and in the Tvine publication, UK.

Kabara Community Development Intiative
Kabara is a title used in prehistoric times by the Hausa people to symbolize a female monarch. Between the 7th – 9th century, often referred to as the “Kabara period”, a matriarchal royal system of governance was in force, thus developing into the legacy of the Hausa people.
Having suffered a lot of set back due to ethnic and religious crises, Kabara Community Development Initiative (KCDI) is focused on improving the lives of people living in Northern Nigeria through timely intervention programs like agricultural aid, medical outreach, and educational support. We provided free graphic design services to aid these programs
