“Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.” – Kofi Annan

Co-Founder Oliver and Nadina Feakins both came to this country as immigrants from their respective countries. Facing the many barriers that face immigrants acclimating to a new country they worked diligently to succeed in a foreign land. After achieving success and being blessed with opportunity through their hard work and sacrifice they decided that they wanted to give back and help other immigrants realize their dreams through education. After teaming up with other like-minded individuals who share similar ideals, the Feakins Foundation was born.
