Who we are and what we do:

Prince Technology and Community Development Foundation is a community of academic and business leaders committed to investing in a new generation of young African leaders who are shaping the continent’s future; while alleviating poverty and reducing hunger in Africa. We provide cutting-edge ideas, tools, information, mentoring, professional development, and technological innovations to inspire, stimulate, spur, and spark the minds of the next generation of African leaders to be distinct and establish outstanding businesses and innovations that can compete globally.We initiate programs that help artisans, small scale industries, and small business owners develop their start-ups into an existing investment prospect; and we are backed by “think tank” of renowned experts and specialists.

We have directly empowered over 25,000 Nigerians to make a difference in their communities and  bring the needed transformation in our generation. We have succeeded in making our target audience understand that country of residence does not change someone’s nature, thus; does not play as much role in success as discovering the talent within and matching it with the opportunities outside. This has helped them discover their own potential and prosper in an increasingly competitive global economy and open trading system, thus; contributing to the growth and development of Africa (world at large).

The poor lack sleep due to lack of basic amenities, the rich lack sleep because the poor are awake; but at Prince Technology and Community Development Foundation, we lack sleep because we are in search of sustainable and innovative solutions to address; Power challenge, climate change, water challenge, long – term unemployment, lack of marketable skills among our youth, alleviate poverty and reduce hunger in Africa; and Yes, We Can! Because we have the persistence to do what it takes to achieve the results we seek!

Not to hand out help to people in need, but to work side-by-side with them to create opportunity. That is why; every person and community we touch is empowered to live up to their full potential.

Our Courage/Believe:

The willingness to try, fail and learn on the journey toward creating something new (providing sustainable and innovative solutions to those I serve) is just as critical as the passion to succeed.
