About Education for Every Child Initiative
Our story, purpose, values, and people.
Who We Are
Education for Every Child Initiative (EECI) is a non-profit organization committed to expanding access to quality education for underserved and vulnerable children across Nigeria. Through educational support, school infrastructure development, advocacy, community engagement, and strategic partnerships, we work to remove barriers that prevent children from learning and reaching their full potential. Our work is guided by transparency, compassion, accountability, and a steadfast belief that every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed.

Why We Exist
Millions of children continue to face barriers that prevent them from accessing education. Poverty, inadequate learning facilities, insufficient educational resources, and social inequalities continue to deny many children the opportunity to build brighter futures. EECI exists to bridge these gaps by providing practical solutions that keep children in school, improve learning environments, and strengthen communities. We believe investing in education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, promote equality, and foster sustainable national development. Every child deserves more than hope; they deserve the opportunity to learn, dream, and succeed.
Meet the Founder
Dr. Petrolina Osobase is the Founder of Education for Every Child Initiative (EECI). Driven by a lifelong passion for education and social development, she established the organization after witnessing the challenges faced by children who were unable to attend school due to financial constraints and limited access to educational opportunities. With a background in development economics and extensive experience in education financing and policy, Dr. Osobase believes that education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives and building stronger communities. Her vision is to create an organization that not only supports children today but also develops sustainable solutions that will ensure future generations have equal access to quality education.
Our Team
Our strength lies in the dedication of passionate professionals, volunteers, educators, and community leaders who share a common commitment to transforming lives through education. Together, our team works tirelessly to design impactful programs, engage communities, build strategic partnerships, and ensure that every initiative creates meaningful and lasting change.
