Faith Owolona: impacting Education and Empowerment in Nigeria with Juliestot Schools and Vocational Centers

Faith Owolona, a name synonymous with entrepreneurial spirit and philanthropic dedication, is making waves across Nigeria with her innovative approach to education and women’s empowerment. As a community leader and the driving force behind the Juliestot Foundation for Women and Girl Child, Owolona has recently expanded her vision by launching Juliestot Girls Secondary School and Juliestot Vocational Center for women and young girls, marking a significant milestone in her ongoing commitment to transforming lives.

The Juliestot Girls Secondary School, already a beacon of hope in Otukpo, Benue State, is set to broaden its reach with a new branch opening soon in Abuja. This institution stands out by providing free, high-quality education to girls, breaking down financial barriers and ensuring that every young woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential. Owolona’s belief in education as a catalyst for change is evident in the school’s comprehensive curriculum and nurturing environment, designed to foster academic excellence and personal growth.

Complementing this educational endeavor is the Juliestot Vocational Center, with an established presence in Benue and plans for a new center in Apo, Abuja. This center is specifically designed to empower women and young girls by equipping them with practical skills and vocational training. Recognizing the importance of economic independence, the center offers courses in various fields, enabling women to become self-sufficient and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through the Juliestot Foundation, Owolona aims to extend this impact across Africa, addressing the unique challenges faced by women and girls and creating sustainable pathways to success.
