Education support.

Education is one of the Foundation's core areas of work. Its programmes include scholarship and educational assistance alongside wider support for children and families.

That commitment runs through Dr Paddy Iyamu's public service as well. As Commissioner for Education he led work on school infrastructure, teacher employment and digital learning across Edo State.
