Our Intervention

With the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria has an employment rate of 35%, according to records from 2021. As of 2020, only 67% of male and 53% of female students finish secondary school in Nigeria. Many are forced to drop out due to financial burdens. Low-income families are unable to afford the school fees for their children and those who do manage to finish higher education, are left struggling to find employment.

We offer a variety of resources to our scholars. With financial support, access to higher education, expanded opportunities, reduced debt, and recognition and prestige for their hard work, we offer motivation and encouragement for scholars to rise and follow in the footsteps of achievers before them and move to create their paths to success.

By awarding scholarships to those in need, we will help to alleviate not only financial stress but also build a community by finding mentors to cater to individual scholars’ needs and grant supervision into their prospective fields. We will help to find each scholar an apprenticeship to combine their theoretical learning with practical work experience to lead them to self-sustaining careers.

Ultimately, our goal is to offer personalized and sustained support to young, bright minds and help them become self-sufficient workers, leaders, and entrepreneurs, becoming the next set of mentors and sponsors to the next generations of Nigerian students, creating a sustainable cycle of ever-growing success.
