LIFE Africa founded by Mr. Linus Idahosa, an African philanthropist, visionary thought leader, and entrepreneur on the conviction that everyone deserves access to necessities like education, healthcare, and shelter. One of the pilot programs is The Re-Skill Africa Programme which will be launched by the LIFE Foundation with the assistance of numerous domestic and international partners to close the gap between technical and vocational skill-driven innovation and upscaling for commercialization through entrepreneurship.
