Flickers of Hope Foundation was birthed from a passion fueled by many experiences of the founder. One of which was meeting a young boy in Abuja who had come from Jos to work in order to sponsor his education. He was the 10th child out of 11 children with no funds or help to further his education. His older siblings had resorted to farming but he was determined to be educated which led to his working in order to fund it. The amount of money he needed to work for, to further his education and for which he had to travel that distance was ‘ridiculously little’ and he even had to stay out of school for a session to raise it.

This got the founder thinking of many other children like this boy, who would love to be in school but have little or no means to further their education, hence the birth of the foundation.
