Edike Foundation is a non-profit organisation established in 2023, dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth in Nigeria through education. Our mission is to provide scholarships and comprehensive support services to disadvantaged students who have been unable to complete their education due to the loss of a parent owing to medical-related conditions or terminal illnesses, enabling them to achieve their full potential. We believe that education is the cornerstone of individual and societal progress. By investing in these young minds, we are not only transforming lives but also contributing to the development of a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
