We Believe Every Mind Deserves a Future
Ascend Education Foundation is dedicated to transforming lives through accessible, quality education for underserved communities across Nigeria.
Our Story
Founded on the belief that education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty, Ascend Education Foundation began with a simple mission: ensure every child in Nigeria has access to quality education, regardless of their economic background.
What started as a small literacy program has grown into a comprehensive educational initiative reaching thousands of children and adults across Lagos and beyond. We've partnered with churches, schools, and community organizations to create sustainable educational programs that truly transform lives.
Today, we're proud to operate multiple programs including the Street Boys Initiative, Apapa Literacy Program, Sunday School Support Initiative, and our acclaimed Train the Trainers program. Each initiative is designed not just to teach reading and writing, but to empower individuals with the skills and confidence to build better futures.
