Our Mission and Impact

Elevate underserved and resource-poor communities by improving access to education, health, and humanitarian services, supporting workforce development.

SSI is also committed to disaster relief and humanitarian assistance in times of devastation and despair.

Our Vision

Addressing barriers to basic education, health, and economic enterprise in low-resource communities to reduce the disastrous impact of the vicious cycle of poor literacy, poverty, and disease, and ultimately promoting sustained holistic growth in both the individual and societal well-being.

SSI Revitalizes the Children's Section of the Enugu State Central Library

Established in 1958 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Enugu State Central Library was once hailed as the best library in West Africa. Today, it stands in disrepair, with aging infrastructure and outdated materials, the result of decades of underinvestment.

SSI is partnering with the library's leadership to revitalize and modernize the children's section.
