About SYE Foundation
THE (SYE) SLILLSPHERE YOUTH EMPOWERNMENT FOUNDATION was founded in 2024 by LILIAN Okeke. C A career-driven mentor and philanthropist who is passionate about global youth empowerment in Nigeria and internationally.
My vision is to create a foundation where we can come together to support the dreams and creative ideas of skilled youths who are undeserved but talented and skilled. I have seen individuals who can turn ideas into creative ventures but lack the resources. They would like to grow in their careers through innovative tech training but lack the resources to upskill themselves in other to advance in their careers. There are youth with solutions to world problems and ready to turn ideas into creative ventures for economic development but lack the resources.
This is where Sye foundation comes in, to empower and support these youths, support them with skills development, support startup creative ideas, mentor youths, empower them to be better individuals and help them create lasting solutions, raising young entrepreneurs, innovative thinkers, and change-makers.
