Who We Are
A non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering university dropouts and vulnerable children in Nigeria through education research, scholarships, and workforce readiness.
Our Mission
To provide educational opportunities to disadvantaged individuals in Nigeria, particularly students who have lost their parents to terminal illnesses and other adversities, enabling them to achieve their full potential.
Our Vision
A society where every child has access to quality education, regardless of their circumstances. We believe education is the cornerstone of individual and societal progress, and we are committed to making that vision a reality in Nigeria.
Our Story
Research sits at the heart of everything we do. From the start, Edike Foundation has studied education accessibility and student realities in Nigeria so our programmes respond to evidence, not assumptions.
That insight shapes our scholarships for students who have been unable to complete their education due to the loss of a parent to medical-related conditions or terminal illnesses, and it informs Gown to Town, our annual workforce readiness programme.
By investing in young minds through research, scholarships, and practical training, we transform individual lives and contribute to a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
