ABOUT US

Mission
Greatness In You (GIU) advances equitable and quality education for the young people in less privileged communities by supporting them with tuition, living, and/or shelter assistances.

Shaping future generations for a better tomorrow
Two-thirds of children in rural Africa end up not being educated, due to the lack of proper educational infrastructure, learning materials, or high cost of quality education. The majority end up as school dropouts with no skillset to meet the ever-dynamic global economic demands and job opportunities.
GIU is on a mission to provide the needed change to anyone who seeks to succeed, particularly with education. As the saying goes, “if you educate yourself, you write your own ticket to success.” Since our inception in 2022, GIU has sponsored numerous individuals who have moved on to become useful members of the society and are now mentoring others. GIU believes education is the core foundation for success. At bear minimum, anyone who seeks knowledge and well-being to make the world a better place than they found it, should be given the opportunity to succeed.
