Education

Thank You Nadia Nouri Foundation

School is in session, and we're excited about all the possibilities this year will bring.

Your generous donation over the past year has helped to ensure that hard-working African students have the opportunity to complete their education. You're a hero to the student, their family, and the school they can attend. 

As you know, we're passionate about offering opportunities for education to hard-working students. And I can see that you also value the education of children.

Education Empowers & Transforms

Your support recently helped provide Mohamed with school supplies and tuition support so he could attend senior secondary school (SSS) this year. His favorite subject is Economics and he would like to be an accountant when he completes school.

When we give to education, we are building a solid wall by continuing to invest in education for years. We are empowering and transforming lives. As families and communities are empowered, real change occurs.
