Maya Foundation
Maya Foundation
Maiduguri, the largest city of Borno State in north-eastern Nigeria.
The Project is divided into the following stages:
We focus on helping talented teen pupils receiving the best grades in school (especially in mathematics) that show interest in science and technology. Through the foundation’s long term support, scholarships, and internship programs, we want them to get good jobs in Finance and IT. We focus on those sectors because that’s where the foundation has most of its corporate partners willing to support us. These are also the sectors we believe have a big future ahead in Africa.
