Our Partners
The supports that keeps on moving
As a membership organisation, we strongly believe in working through partnerships for sustainability over time and continuous shared learning. We are strongly committed to promote partnerships as we consolidate our role of convening the organizations working in promotion of girls’ education in order to foster synergy and muster the authority to effectively engage with government.
OUR IMPACT
Numbers that tell a human story.
Through Christel Nursery & Primary School, Meir International College, and Mehof Group of Schools, we have given hundreds of children and families a second chance. These efforts were privately funded for two decades before the foundation was formally registered.
Today, STEFO operates across Nigeria and extends into Africa, bringing the same care, rigour, and humanity that began in a
kiosk in Festac to communities that need it most
