WELCOME TO THE INITIATIVE
A Lively Learning Experience.
The YATTIYR SCHOLARSHIP INITIATIVE (YSI) was conceived in November of 2017 and birthed in March, 2018. We offer indigent students of Kwara State, Nigeria, hope and life whilst helping them gain access to quality education via advocacy and sponsorship. Also important, we engage in leadership development via mentoring, with the belief that, youths are no longer the leaders of tomorrow, but ones urgently needed today.

Volunteering for Yattiyr Scholarship Initiative is one of the best things I enjoyed doing this year.
I was super happy, from the beginning to the very end..
It wasn't like I was working as an usher or volunteer, it was like I was one of the students...
At the sight of those children, I felt joy and goosebumps.
It was just one hell of a wonderful experience honestly.
God bless Yattiyr for blessing those children and me at the same time.
I would never forget

I'm just glad to contribute my little quota to the great work we are doing as a team.
