ABOUT CEFO
Christ Education Fund For Orphans
Christ Education Fund For Orphans (CEFO), an initiative of the Fountain of Hope Society 71NG, Methodist Cathedral of Unity, Wuse, Abuja was born on 30th August 2003 out of the need to lend a helping hand to the less privileged amongst us, especially the orphans as we recognize that they are one of the most vulnerable persons in the society, having lost both parents and with a future very uncertain.
Education is at the core of our values. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to sharing knowledge, fostering growth, positively impacting lives and more importantly, revealing the love of Jesus to the world.
In a world where vices are a common occurrence, it is important that a proper foundation be given to these vulnerable children to give them a solid start to life and position them as assets in our various communities.
CEFO was thus established to cater for the educational and spiritual needs of vulnerable orphaned children in our midst to give them greater chance to attain their potentials in life.
The Fund is universal and is available to all needy orphaned children no matter the tribe, faith or creed.
We are duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
