About us

Our Story

This foundation has been set up in honour and memory of our beloved mother.

Mrs Dorcas Idele Olotu was from Benin City, Nigeria and she was an Educationist and a philanthropist.

She was simply the best as a mother and teacher. She laboured for her daughters to achieve their full potential as women and to be responsible individuals in the societies .She nurtured each child from an early age to achieve academically and she encouraged us to believe in ourselves .

 

Back in those days when our mother was surrounded by her girls ( from toddler age to preschool and school age) , at a time when girls were particularly seen as the less important gender in the societies with little or no impact and she was ridiculed for having girls as children.

To God be the glory , she proved them wrong through her love for education which became evident in the lives of her children today.

Our mother will always be a Hero for her role in our lives and the way she choose to change the narrative about girls and empowered her daughters through Education and Mentorship. We want to ensure her legacy, her virtues and her story , which extends more than having financial resources to spread to others and to encourage girls and women in particular who may find themselves at a disadvantage.
