Our Aim

A deeply entrenched poverty is defining the lives of the vast majority of Nigerians and this has led to the pitiable conditions for the Nigerian child. Ajijolaiya Empowerment Foundation Is therefore helping to educate the children of the under-served, supporting particularly the indigent, less privileged, but brilliant child, to fulfill life ambitions. We act as a charitable benefactor by raising funds and awarding scholarships to children with no parents or guardians, to care for them as well as supporting orphans and the less privileged. One major sponsorship qualification is being less privileged underserved but brilliant. We believe the under-served but brilliant kids should be given an equal opportunity to become somebody in life. We help children of the less-privileged and those who come from very impoverished homes, usually through scholarships and monetary empowerment in order for them to gain access to quality learning in public schools.

Our Vision

Children and youths constitute a significant proportion of those exposed to the ravaging discomfort of poverty in Nigeria. Our Vision therefore is to reduce educational inequality amongst the less-privileged, underserved, impoverished but brilliant children in Nigeria and we work with Public Schools in the Country.

Our Motto
