Educating them to serveSince 2017, KindHeart has paid the school fees, books and housing of bright students whose families cannot afford to keep them in school, from secondary school through university.
In Nigeria, too often only the children of the rich can obtain higher education, while children of the poor drop out of school solely because their families cannot keep paying the fees.
Our vision is to bridge this socio-economic gap by giving bright youths from poor families the opportunity to receive a formal education and acquire skills that will transform their lives and society.
Breaking barriers to higher education.
Vocational and academic excellence.
Empowering communities, one scholar at a time.
Need-based, transparent selection.
Providing less privileged students in secondary schools, tertiary institutions and vocational training schools with a full scholarship, including tuition, accommodation and other fees, for the entire duration of their studies.
Producing the best students through constant motivation, support and tracking of their progress. We celebrate growth and reward diligence.
Training responsible students who give back to society what they received, creating a ripple effect of generosity.
Training them to be saints and scholars, gentlemen and ladies, with character, integrity, intellect and grace.
Unwavering mentorship and guidance so every child thrives beyond the classroom.

I grew up in a very poor area with no pipe-borne water, electricity or the basic amenities an average child enjoys here in the US.
I watched brilliant children drop out because their parents could not afford school fees. I often gave my monthly pay and savings to keep some of them in school.
I came to the US in Fall 2017 on a fully funded scholarship for postgraduate studies at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. The exchange rate meant I could do more, so I began paying fees for a few students. When two of them were ready for university in late December 2017, it was clear more help was needed.
KindHeart Scholarship started in the US in late December 2017 as a private non-profit program, funded through donations, taking new students as funds allow.
Open to less privileged students in Nigeria, especially in the Catholic Diocese of Orlu, Imo State.
