About Haleyouth Foundation
Empowering youth, building peace, and transforming communities across Nigeria and Africa since 2019.
Our Story
Haleyouth Foundation was founded in 2019 by passionate young professionals driven by a hunger for change. Our team comprises individuals who benefited from scholarships and institutional support, which guided their motivation to give back to their communities.
That collective investment in education carved a path and inspired the creation of the Haleyouth Foundation — a non-profit committed to empowering youth through mentorship, advancing STEM education, and fostering community development.
Through various programmes, the foundation has reached thousands of young people and women in Nigeria, creating opportunities for growth, resilience, and leadership aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
“Start local. Pick a problem you can see and touch. Define clear goals. Onboard fellow changemakers. Define your impact plan. Review and adapt.”
