Basic Education Support Initiative

About Our Mission & Impact

Who We Are

Basic Education Support Initiative (RC No 168409) is a nonprofit organization commissioned on the 8th of August 2022.

Founded by Temitope Jokodola, BESI was birthed with the main goal of fixing the various frictions in the basic education system through strategic education financing.

We provide solutions by making funds available to finance, manage, and track the resources used in different projects. We ensure these interventions are properly managed through a thorough cash flow and financial management system.
