We Create Learning Societies, Develop Talents, And Raise The Ambitions Of Children And Young People.
We live and breathe education. Afterall, it builds societies and is the gateway to a brighter future. We exist for children, helping them to acquire knowledge which is required to live a thriving life with an increased earning potential. We help them to learn and grow so they can shape a better future for themselves and their societies.
WE ARE UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AID. WE REMOVE BARRIERS TO EDUCATION.
We believe in making accountability real, through genuine and open two-way communication that celebrates successes and demonstrates willingness to learn from mistakes. As a charity, we ensure that our performance and interaction with stakeholders are guided by the values, ethics and culture put in place by the Board. Our trustees make sure that the charity collaborates with stakeholders to promote ethical conduct.
We take our responsibility for building public trust and confidence in our work very seriously and we go the extra mile to show legitimacy in representing our beneficiaries and stakeholders. We favour a culture of openness, providing annual reports and accounts which can be accessed and scrutinised by the public.

Foluso Odutuyo
Chair of Trustees (BSc. MSc. PGCE)
Foluso is an educationist with Qualified Teaching Status in England. She is a visionary educator and holds a B.Sc. in Microbiology, a M.SC. in Bioinformatics and a PGCE.
In her teaching career, she has liaised with organisations such as Google, Shepheard Epstein Hunters and others in order to enrich the educational provision for the children in her school and surrounding schools. She is a strong believer in exploratory, child-centred learning approaches as she is of the view that this allows children to become critical thinkers who effortlessly apply higher-order thinking to solving problems, and most importantly are able to draw links between varying concepts.
Foluso strongly believes that knowledge acquisition is the key to individual, community and global growth. Therefore, she has made it her life mission to ensure every child and adult alike gain awareness of the importance of this concept and most importantly, have access to viable knowledge which will forge social progression, regardless of personal circumstances.
Preceding the founding of Universal Education Aid, Foluso always was dedicated to improving accessibility to quality education and has been the driving force behind several projects aimed at alleviating poverty from disadvantaged and marginalised communities. For several years, she has worked with schools and villages in remote areas of Africa, providing books, food, clothings, sanitary towels and other essential commodities with proven links to poor attendance in schools.
Whenever she is not implementing knowledge acquisition projects across the globe, she is doing such with her lovely children who genuinely believe they are THE Ultimate CODEStroNAUTs, CREATORs, GLOBAL CHANGERS and everything else in-between!
