About Us

Who We Are

The Izhi Tehu Foundation (ITF) is a community-driven, development-oriented organisation committed to human capital development, cultural preservation, and sustainable empowerment across Izhi land and Ebonyi State. Our work is anchored on the belief that no society rises beyond the quality of its people.
In response to rising youth unemployment, skills mismatch, educational attrition, and moral disorientation, ITF has designed a Four-Year Integrated Youth Empowerment Programme focused on education, skills acquisition, innovation, and value reorientation.

Limited access to quality education and scholarships
