The Ihonvbere Foundation is a private, independent grant making institution dedicated to helping groups and individuals foster lasting improvement in the human condition in Nigeria and Africa. Through the support it provides, the Foundation fosters the development of knowledge, nurtures individual creativity, strengthens institutions, helps improve public policy, and provides information to the public, primarily through support for the empowerment of women and young people.

The goals of the foundation is to aggressively pursue policies which:

* Strengthen democratic values in Nigeria

* Reduce poverty and injustice, especially in the rural communities of the country

* Promote international cooperation in the struggle against human rights violations

* Promote the provision of health services and facilities to poor communities

* Advance human achievement especially in the field of education

As with all societies, Nigeria has its sets of challenges which impacts the creation of a civil society based on political, economic, social justice for all. The work of the foundation is aimed at addressing these challenges at the local level by working with government, Non-Governmental, private, and public enterprises in a collaborative effort. This, we hope, will lead to increased participation by people from all strata of society in working for the common good.
