Progressive Loan Repayment System Protects African Youth
In a move that puts African interests first, NELFUND has implemented a revolutionary repayment system that protects our youth from predatory financial practices. Key features include:

Ambitious Vision for African Educational Excellence
Executive Director of Operations, Mustapha Iyal, revealed NELFUND's impressive reach, currently managing over 3.2 million student records. The organization's ambitious target of one million new applications by 2025 reflects its commitment to ensuring no African student's education is compromised by financial constraints.
