September 26, (THEWILL) – The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Transcorp Hotels Plc, Dupe Olusola, has announced the launch of the Next Generation Foundation (NGF), a philanthropic fund, dedicated to improving the lives of underserved and vulnerable children through education.
With this foundation, Olusola is extending her lifelong commitment to empowering others, driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of education.
The foundation’s vision is for every child to have access to quality education, and a chance at a better life.
To mark her 50th birthday, Olusola has introduced the foundation’s flagship initiative – the 50 by 50 project, which is a multiyear scholarship programme (commencing in the 2024/2025 academic session), for 50 children, between the ages of six and 18, from low-income families.
The 50 by 50 project will provide free tuition, books, school uniforms, nutrition programmes, access to health services, and mentorship to the beneficiaries, starting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lagos and Ogun states. This effort will be powered by partnerships with leading social impact organisations focused on education.
