How It Started
Built on Firsthand Witness
Nigeria has over 20 million out-of-school children. That number is not a statistic to us — it is a crisis we live inside. Zulimo Foundation was founded on 20 May 2026 by young Nigerians who understood this problem from the inside: the insecurity it breeds, the futures it buries, and the communities it quietly destroys.
We did not write reports about it. We built a platform to fix it — a digital bridge connecting willing sponsors with deserving children, so that private school education becomes a real option for families who could never afford it alone.
Zulimo is a registered subproject of Nigerian Unity and Rights Advocacy (NURA) — an organisation whose mission is to promote national unity, protect human rights, and mobilise Nigerian youth for effective civic participation. Zulimo is one of the concrete ways NURA turns that mission into action on the ground.
Where We Are Now
We launched in May 2026. We are just getting started.
This platform is new. We have no inflated numbers to show you — and we will never invent them. What we have is a working system, a clear mission, and a team ready to onboard schools and sponsors starting now.
Every school verified, every student listed, every sponsorship completed will be visible on this platform in real time. Growth will be honest, and accountability will be built in from day one.
Structure: Registered subproject of NURA
Focus: Out-of-school children in Nigeria
Approach: Sponsor-to-student digital bridge
Our Mission
To reduce the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria by connecting compassionate sponsors with deserving students through a transparent, technology-driven platform — giving every child a fighting chance at private school education.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where no child is left out of education because of poverty — where every young person, regardless of where they were born or how little their family earns, has access to quality schooling and a real future.
Est. 20 May 2026
Founded in Nigeria as a subproject of NURA — built by young Nigerians who saw the crisis of over 20 million out-of-school children and decided to act, not observe.
"Every child deserves a dawn."
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
Transparency
Every naira tracked, every report published. Sponsors see exactly where their money goes.
Accountability
Schools, officers, and sponsors are held to the same high standard — no exceptions.
Dignity
Children are not charity cases. They are future leaders deserving of respect and care.
Community
We build bridges across geography, class, and circumstance — one sponsorship at a time.
Impact
Measurable, term-by-term outcomes for every student on the platform.
Safety
Child protection is non-negotiable. Every interaction is monitored and governed.
Be Part of What We Are Building
Zulimo is at the beginning. The platform is live, the mission is clear, and the first children are waiting. Your sponsorship is not a donation into the void — it is a named child, a named school, a named term.
