Meet Faith

My name is Faith Oviasuyi, and I am the founder of Faith Connect Advocacy Foundation, a nonprofit based in Nigeria, West Africa, committed to supporting underprivileged children and families through education, advocacy, and empowerment. I am deeply passionate about community service and humanitarian work, and I am driven by a desire to create long-term opportunities that help vulnerable individuals rise above systemic barriers and access a better future.

How do you intend to use the funds?

As a recipient of the RISE Funds scholarship, I aim to use this opportunity for professional development to strengthen my expertise in nonprofit leadership. I will be taking courses in grant writing, fundraising strategy, nonprofit management, donor relations, and program development. These trainings will empower me to expand the impact of Faith Connect Advocacy Foundation, secure sustainable funding, and build initiatives that create meaningful and lasting change in the communities we serve.
