CEF Foundation

CEF Foundation is a Nigerian nonprofit focused on expanding educational opportunity for young people. Founded by Chukwudi Egwu Fidelis, the organisation works in Abuja, Edo State, and Anambra, guided by the belief that a child’s prospects should not be limited by geography or family income. Since 2023, it reports awarding more than 500 scholarships and bursaries and supporting over 1,000 beneficiaries across three states.

Its programmes include full and partial scholarships for academically talented students from low-income households, along with school materials for learners who need them. CEF Foundation also offers weekly after-school mentorship, connecting young people with professionals for academic support, career guidance, and personal development. Practical and vocational training covers digital skills, fashion, electrical installation, and other areas intended to help participants build economic independence. Dedicated scholarships, mentorship, and community outreach support girls’ education and help keep girls in school.

The foundation invites individuals to donate, volunteer, or become mentors.
