Jaiz Foundation

Jaiz Foundation is a charitable, non-profit and non-governmental organization meant to complement the efforts of governments in improving people's lives. In line this philosophy, we are poised to either initiate or partner with local and/or international development agencies to embark on impactful projects with a view to contributing to the socio-e... conomic development of the poor and vulnerable people in the society. As part of our core mandates, we are committed to providing interventions in areas of eradicating extreme hunger and poverty, enhancing youth and women economic empowerment, provision of education, health, environment, potable drinking water and sanitation and capacity building. Against this philosophical underpinning, Jaiz Foundation was established by Jaiz Bank Plc on the 2nd of April, 2012 and registered under Part C of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2004 with registration number IT/51511 with its corporate Head Office in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. As a fully independent organization with its separate Board of Trustees (BOT), Jaiz Foundation serves as the link between the Bank and the community through the implementation of the Bank's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. Its ideology is rooted from that of the Islami Bank of Foundation, Bangladesh which was established by the Islami Bank of Bangladesh Limited (IBBL), to carry out its CSR. The IBBL is the technical partner of Jaiz Foundation as approved by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Currently, Jaiz Foundation is administered under the policy of a 7-member BOT made up of distinguished persons who have excelled in fields ranging from Banking and Finance, Investments, education, humanitarian aid and Islamic jurisprudence. Its activities are effectively managed by a team of professionals under the leadership of a Director General/Chief Executive Officer.Read More
