Who we are

The Juli Education Foundation is a non-governmental organization focused on empowering the Nigerian teen with skills and resources required to develop and compete favourably in our evolving society, and technology driven global community. With a failing education system, booming youth population, rising rate of unemployment and underemployment, global rate of technological advancement, and critical need for the country to empower its youth population, the foundation’s goal is to empower teens, especially dis-advantaged teens, with skills and resources that can shape them positively, develop and equip to become valuable resources to society and the country’s development.

Miss Ogiator recognized the current and potential consequences this poses for the country in being unable to fully harness the resourcefulness of its teens and youth in general, and the fact that early investment is key in developing this huge wealth of resource and putting them on the right path. With personal funds and generous contributions from friends and family, she undertook various teen empowerment projects eventually leading up to the establishment of the foundation together with other passionate youth like herself.

Registered in Nigeria with RC NO: 116954, the foundation operates out of its central office in Abuja, the Federal Capital, and works through local partners across the country.
