More about the grant
This grant programme has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the Adeyeye family.
In 2020 Olufunke Adeyeye, a life-long nurse and midwife, passed away. Her three children are commemorating her life and career by supporting the Foundation to establish this education grant in her name.
