About Us

We are a vehicle for social impact across critical sectors in the economy driven by the unique challenges facing Africa and the need for progressive change.

Sterling One Foundation is a vehicle for positive social impact across critical sectors in the Nigerian economy.

Driven by the unique challenges facing millions of Africans, we are keen on contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), harnessing demographic dividends and  improving the lives and livelihoods of people in under-served communities. Through our innovative programs and integrated approach, we engage in stakeholder driven interventions, that are geared towards socio-economic development, wealth creation, employability, sustainability and national development.

Although established by Sterling Bank, we have a separate board of trustees and have prioritized social impact investments across critical sectors for maximum impact.
