Foundation

Who We Are & What we do.

The Dele Akinsade Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education for young people, with a strong focus on empowering girls through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Founded by Mr. Dele Akinsade, the Foundation was born out of a vision to unlock opportunities for underserved youth in Ondo City especially girls by removing barriers to education and nurturing their potential in fields where they have traditionally been underrepresented.

While our programs are open to both boys and girls, we are intentional about centering girls in our initiatives, offering targeted support to help them thrive in STEM and leadership.

Our work includes:

  • Sponsorship of school-based STEM competitions and prizes
  • Mentorship and guidance for students pursuing university education
  • Co-investing in the renovation of educational facilities
  • Providing school materials and learning resources
  • Advocating gender equity in education.

Through mentorship, scholarships, school-based programs, and advocacy, we are building a future where girls are not just included but boldly leading in STEM and beyond.

Our Mission

To empower and elevate young people with the right digital skills and leadership qualities required to advance their opportunities and to become good citizens.

Our Vision For The Dele Akinsade Foundation

Our Vision is to advocate for the promotion of STEM-U education and use this to help eradicate poverty. We would like to become an international-level NGO with a sustainable mentorship program.
