OUR STORY
A legacy of education. A future of opportunity.
Bamiwo Foundation honours Deaconess Esther Oluwabamiwo Fadamiro and her belief in education, discipline, faith and service. We carry that legacy forward by helping students build brighter futures and encouraging them to help others along the way.
IN HER MEMORY
Deaconess Esther Oluwabamiwo Fadamiro
The Foundation was established by her family to honour the memory of a beloved grandmother. She held a profound appreciation for education, and she instilled in her family the value of pursuing knowledge and the transformative power it holds.
Her faith, discipline and care for others shaped the way the Foundation works today.
Her legacy lives not only in the scholarships we award, but in the expectation that opportunity should be passed forward.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Every talented and driven student deserves the chance to reach their full potential, regardless of financial circumstances.
Merit and need, together
Our scholarships recognise academic merit and demonstrated financial need, so that cost does not stand between a capable student and completing school.
Fair and accountable
Partner schools verify every application and the Board makes every award, so support is grounded in local knowledge and open to scrutiny.
Education transforms
We believe education has the power to transform lives and communities, and that scholars who are supported today can guide the next generation.
