About the Nifemi Brown Foundation Scholarship
The Nifemi Brown Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2015 to reach out to less-privileged communities, schools, and people. The foundation was called ‘UNILAG for Humanity’ at its inception, with volunteers from various departments all over the school pitching in as donors. After educating herself on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, she decided to focus on education and rural community development, especially those of the public schools as they are usually the most disadvantaged.
