A family, a community, a movement adding value to lives across Africa for 22 years.
HillCity Foundation is a non-governmental organisation built on the belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to discover purpose, unlock potential, and thrive. We were inaugurated in March 2004 in Nigeria and formally registered as a non-profit organisation in 2006.
What began as a vision rooted in Nigerian soil has grown into a movement that has crossed borders. In May 2019 we established our presence in Uganda our first step in international expansion across the African continent, with the goal to empower young Africans and add value to their lives.
Since our inception, HillCity Foundation has committed over $700,000 to advancing the educational aspirations of young people, disbursing more than $30,000 each year through our flagship Educational Support Programme providing scholarships and critical resources to deserving students.

“One can either live to make a living or live to make an impact.”
To add value to lives through our axis of impact.
To discover, develop, and deploy the potentials of young destinies, enabling them to fulfil their potentials maximally.
We believe every young person carries a destiny worth discovering. We do not give charity we invest in potential. Through structured support, mentorship, and community, we help young people not just survive their circumstances, but transcend them.
