Meet Itoro Uwah: The Visionary Behind BEFOCUS Children & Youth Foundation
Every great movement begins with a strong vision — some are forged in lived experience. That’s the story of Itoro Uwah, founder of the BEFOCUS Children & Youth Foundation, a values-driven initiative helping young people across Nigeria and Africa discover purpose, build character, gain skills, and pursue excellence.
A Vision Born from Experience and Purpose
After seeing brilliant youths drift without guidance and communities strained by weakened value systems, Itoro identified a generational emergency: a crisis of purpose. Instead of looking away, he built a platform to help children and youth discover themselves, define their vision, and develop habits of excellence.
