Transforming Lives and Creating Opportunities
Modupe Sapiential Foundation honours the life of Gladys Modupe Sasore, who overcame hardship to study law and fought for equal access to education, justice, and support for the blind. After her death in 2019, MSF continues her work by funding scholarships for young women, offering free legal aid, and supporting the visually impaired.
About us
The Modupe Sapiential Foundation was launched three and half years ago in memory of the Late Gladys Modupe Sasore, who was a beacon of kindness a passionate advocate, and a supporter of causes that empowered the underprivileged. The foundation focuses on three key areas
Educational Support
We are committed to helping female students from low-income backgrounds succeed in college by providing financial support through scholarships, grants, and other forms of assistance. Our goal is to ease the burden of tuition and other expenses so they can focus on their studies, reach their full potential, and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Legal Aid
We work to advance social justice by providing legal assistance to individuals with limited financial resources, ensuring they receive fair representation and support. Efforts also focus on creating and implementing community-driven programs that make social justice more accessible. By bridging the gap more people are empowered to seek justice.
Visually impaired
Our goal is to actively support, develop, and carry out social programs that make a real difference in the lives of visually impaired and blind individuals. We aim to provide them with better opportunities, resources, and support systems to help them live more independently and comfortably. Whether it's through education, assistive technology etc. To achieve this, we partner with the Nigerian Society for the blind.
In loving memory of...
