Our Story
From a vision born of gratitude to a movement impacting thousands.
Haleyouth Foundation was born from a deeply personal journey. Our founding team grew up in Nigeria and benefited from scholarships and support from institutions like the First Surat Group, African Development Bank, Nile University of Nigeria, African University of Science and Technology, and the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF).
“Their belief in us carved our path and guided our motivation to give back.” That collective motivation became something tangible.
In 2019, Haleyouth Foundation was established — a non-profit committed to empowering youth through mentorship, advancing STEM education, and fostering community development. The name “Haleyouth” embodies the spirit of strengthening young potentials.
