What Renewed Hope Initiative does

RHI's core programs include the National Scholarship Programme (NASP) for tertiary institution students, the RHI/NITDA Women ICT Training Empowerment Program (which scaled from 35 to 607 women across states in 2025), and the Flow with Confidence Menstrual Hygiene Program distributing 10,000 disposable sanitary pad packs per state to rural schoolgirls. Underlying delivery infrastructure includes Community ICT Centers established in partnership with NITDA, the 100-bed Sen. Oluremi Tinubu Maternal and Child Specialist Hospital in Gombe State, the Oluremi Tinubu Renewed Hope Resettlement City in Keffi housing 239 displaced individuals with 100 hectares of farmland and vocational training facilities, and the Free To Shine Triple Elimination Campaign targeting HIV/AIDS, Syphilis, and Hepatitis. The initiative's technology foundation rests on ICT and digital literacy training infrastructure delivered through NITDA partnership, rather than proprietary software platforms or AI systems.

RHI's revenue model is donation- and grant-based, with no commercial pricing as all programs are delivered free to beneficiaries. Funding flows in from government agencies (NITDA, NDDC, Bank of Industry, NADFUND), international partners (the Tony Elumelu Foundation donated N1bn to support 18,500 women; Merck Foundation; Qatar Foundation; WHO; UNADP), and private sector donors. Programs are distributed through a nationwide network of State First Ladies serving as RHI Coordinators in all 36 states and the FCT, with community outreach via traditional rulers and religious leaders. The organization is headquartered in The Three Arms Zone, Asokoro, FCT Abuja.
