Our Impact

We are focused on three areas with the potential for exponential impact.

We aim to strategically contribute
to national and international educational outcomes by providing the highest quality education for the underserved and underprivileged in society.

Education

We will contribute to the eradication and mitigation of life-threatening diseases (such as cancer and diabetes) through strategic partnerships and campaigns.

Health

We seek to improve livelihoods for youth and women through empowerment programs.

Youth Empowerment

Our focus on education
includes:

Partnership

We work with education-focused NGOs
to develop programs that will create partnerships with feeder schools for Wigwe University.

We directly support curriculum development in primary and secondary schools.

Coricullum

We partner with international development agencies executing education sector programs that reduce the number of out-of-school children.

International Collaboration

Capacity Development

We invest in teacher and school leadership development programs.

Infrastructure

We invest in the development of infrastructure for low-income schools.

Our focus on health  includes:

We partner with focal organisations
and health institutions executing high-impact, mission-critical health programs.

Partnership

We work with grassroots and community based health and social service programs to scale up.  

Community

We develop and implement emotional support programs for at-risk communities and individuals.

Program Development

We support health improvement programs that build the capacity of health workers across the country.

Capacity

We support work with relevant government agencies to strengthen the execution of national health programs. 

Government Collaboration

We create healthier and higher quality of life for underprivileged or at-risk youth by improving:

  1. positive sense of self

  2. self-control

  3. decision-making skills

  4. moral belief system

  5. pro-social connectedness

Our focus on youth empowerment

Quality life

Learning opportunities

We foster and develop increased learning and development opportunities for young people by encouraging and supporting them to contribute to society, steer initiatives and pioneer their own youth-led projects.

We build strong relationships with organisations that share HOW Foundation’s aims to further increase the capacity of young people in building their skills and aptitudes for personal growth and their community’s long-term success and development.

Relationship Building

We create social safety nets through community-based interventions such as the building of libraries or youth empowerment centers, using local expertise.

Intervention Projects

We’ve honed our methodology so that we can always deliver on our commitments to communities.

  • We identify smaller, credible NGOs whose objectives and programs align with ours.

  • We partner with these NGOs to roll out impactful programs that touch on our core.

  • We work with them to strengthen their internal operations and capacity to scale.​

  • We leverage our local and global networks to support the expansion of target NGOs.

  • We accelerate our impact through a focus on three areas: education, health and youth empowerment.

  • We optimise our resources and capabilities to achieve and exceed targets.

Our strategic priority:

We’re dedicated to building new partnerships together for HOW Foundation’s sustainable impact and growth.

Non-Financial

We build long-term partnerships with institutions and public and private sector entities that share our goals for more significant impact on our three focuses.

Financial

We diversify joint funding streams and increase resources available for various programming.

This two-pronged strategy is a catalyst for how we link our partnerships, programs and policy priorities. It fosters cooperation between HOW Foundation and our partners and increases the resources available to jointly implement programs that improve outcomes across education, health and youth empowerment.
