Our Scholarship Program

Abake's Foundation has a scholarship program for residents of West Africa. College Education changes lives for the better, and has the potential to impact a community and address its local needs for leadership and skilled employment. With this logic we at Abake's Foundation believe that it is imperative for our organization to put as many underprivileged young adults through College as funding would allow.
