Welcome to Indigent Orphans’ Scholarship & Empowerment Foundation
About Us
In IOSEFoundation, we BELIEVE that EDUCATION is a fundamental right of every child (irrespective of colour, tribe, race, language, geographical location, sex, religion, or social status).
We also believe that, EDUCATION is the GREAT LIGHT that exposes individuals to their potentials, thereby making such individuals beneficial to humanity at large.
Unfortunately, in Africa, quality education is assumed to be the exclusive preserve of the rich. This situation has led to less-privileged persons being denied access to quality education.
Therefore, INDIGENT ORPHANS’ SCHOLARSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT FOUNDATION was officially born in 2024.
Our Vision
To award annual SCHOLARSHIPs to HELPLESS ORPHANS in various African schools; Primary to University level.
To SPONSOR academic deficient orphans for VOCATIONAL SKILL ACQUISITION PROGRAMMES and empower them after their training.
Our Mission
To bridge the educational gap between the rich and the HELPLESS ORPHANS in Africa.
To establish Educational, Media and other facilities across Africa for the interest of the less privilege generally.
Our Core Values (A.F.T.)
Accountability
We take responsibility for every action, ensuring trust, integrity, and lasting impact.
Transparency
We operate openly and honestly, ensuring clarity in decisions, actions, and resource management.
Fairness
We treat every child equally, offering opportunities without bias, prejudice, or discrimination.
