Stephen’s Children Foundation is a nonprofit charity organization formed by a group of individuals who are victims of persecution in Northern Nigeria and who have enjoyed free education and sponsorship in the past, in the South Western Nigeria. We are registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) of Nigeria to stand as a voice to hundreds of orphaned children who have been neglected and are without means of formal education or who have gained admission but have no means of paying their fees.
Looking at our past and how we have enjoyed free education and sponsorships, we also yearn to see more sons of the martyrs go to school again and become useful vessels in the society. Our efforts are on top gear to give equal opportunities to other orphans and the less privilege in general.
