The Sterling One Foundation
The Sterling One Foundation (SOF) is a private foundation founded in 2018 and operates mainly in Nigeria.[1] The foundation is an initiative of the Sterlin Bank, though operates as an independent body with its own structure and board of trustee.[2] In 2022, it partnered with the United Nations in Nigeria to host the 2023 Africa social impact summit in Lagos, Nigeria.[3][4][5] It has also collaborated with the Deputy British High Commissioner to Nigeria to launch the 2023 edition of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in Nigeria.[6]
History[edit]
The foundation commits to itemizing the various challenges facing Africa and propel solutions and methods in addressing them in a way that it would drive social impact across five sectors of the economy which include health, education, food security, gender equality and climate action.[7][8] In 2021, with the creation of the first free crowdfunding platform in Africa known as giving.ng, it was given a CSR award in recognition of its role in social impact contribution to society.[9][10]
