Youth Empowerment

Going beyond traditional educational boundaries
Beyond the realms of conventional education, our mission extends to breaking the shackles of unemployment and economic disenfranchisement. Through our annual youth empowerment schemes, we provide not only financial support but also essential skills, cutting-edge equipment, and mentorship to 50 enterprising young individuals annually. Our goal is to nurture and catalyze the creation of sustainable businesses, transforming not only individual lives but entire communities.

How to apply

The Prof. Herbert Onye Orji Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals through our grant programs. We welcome applications directly from individuals seeking assistance in various areas. While we primarily issue grants to individuals, we also support regranting programs that have a positive impact on individuals.

Our grant application process is designed to be inclusive and accessible. If you are an individual looking for support, we encourage you to submit your application through our Grants form. The Foundation reviews applications on a rolling basis, and we strive to provide assistance to those in need.

Please note that we do not consider unsolicited proposals, and all grants are initiated through the Foundation’s invitation to specific individuals or organizations. If you have any questions or need guidance during the application process, our program staff is available to assist you.

We’d like to hear from individuals whose initiatives in Youth Empowerment actively catalyze positive change.
