Flickers of Hope is a non- profit, NGO registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission RC43149 on February 2011. The Organization was established in 2010 primarily with the burden to give hope to the hopeless removing young hawkers from the street and putting them back in schools, giving scholarships to orphans, guiding the young unemployed youth to be financially and intellectually empowered and gainfully employed while discovering their innate abilities and gifts, ensuring widows are being taken care of in the society and have a reason to live again despite and in spite of challenging situations, putting smiles in the faces of all.
The initiative is targeted at defining LIFE for young people who have lost the true definition of life. They exist without dreams, goals, aspirations or purpose.
FOH works at achieving Sustainable Development Goals 1-5; we work in 5 states namely Kaduna, Niger, Nassarawa, Kogi, Osun and the FCT.
Vision: A generation where goals, aspirations and purpose are fulfilled.
Mission: We exist to redefine life for the hopeless by building the value of education, re-orientating young people and empowering women.
