The 2025 edition of the Dr. Chioma Awuzie Foundation (DCAF) Annual Scholarship Award and Charity Programme is scheduled for Friday, July 18.
This event, beginning at 11 a.m., will take place at the Main Auditorium of the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State, and will also celebrate the 52nd birthday anniversary of the Founder, Dr. Chioma Awuzie.
Since its inception, DCAF has remained a leading non-governmental, non-profit organization focused on promoting education, youth empowerment, women’s development, and humanitarian outreach. The foundation continues to invest millions in scholarships, mentorship and charitable initiatives aimed at uplifting vulnerable populations and strengthening the social fabric of communities.
An official press statement issued by the foundation, through its Programme Officer, Pharm. Miracle Awuzie-Okafor, announced that 19 indigent students selected from public tertiary institutions across Anambra State will receive scholarship awards, alongside a variety of other charitable activities during the event.
The statement read in part: “The Annual Scholarship Programme is a flagship initiative of DCAF, designed to bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity for Nigeria’s underprivileged youth. For the 2025 edition, 19 outstanding indigent students from six major public tertiary institutions in Anambra State will receive one-off academic scholarships for one session, having demonstrated resilience and academic excellence despite economic hardship.”
“Beyond education, the Foundation will engage in charitable outreach during the event, including feeding hundreds of guests and community members to ensure no one is excluded from this celebration of hope; distributing gift items to students, widows, and economically disadvantaged individuals; and empowering selected youths and women with tools, resources, and startup support for small-scale businesses and skills development.”
“These acts of love and compassion exemplify DCAF’s holistic approach to community upliftment—empowering minds, nurturing lives, and restoring dignity.”
The foundation has called for partnerships and support from well-meaning individuals, groups, and corporate entities to further its mission of empowering indigent youths and women through education and charitable acts.
“In pursuit of this noble mission, DCAF is appealing to captains of industry, education stakeholders, corporate organizations, donor agencies, humanitarian groups, and individuals to join us in expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Your support can enable us to touch more lives and open new doors of opportunity for youth and women across Nigeria.
“No child should be denied an education, and no woman should be excluded from economic participation due to poverty,” says Dr. Chioma Awuzie – the Founder of DCAF. “With your partnership, we can build a more inclusive and equitable society.”
The foundation invites donations to support its life-changing work. Contributions can be made to its corporate First City Monument Bank (FCMB) Account Number: 8126389015 (Dr. Chioma Awuzie Foundation). “All donations, whether large or small, will be directed toward scholarships, charitable outreach, empowerment programmes, and sustainable community development initiatives,” the Foundation pledged.
