Philanthropic Horizons
We have formulated the vision, mission and principles which will guide all the plans and activities of Nile University so that we can find pathways to incorporate philanthropic contribution as part of the social responsibility of our organisation. This is only the start. There is no shortage of ideas and we believe that where there is a will there is a way.
- A considerable portion of the returns of Nile University is set aside for philanthropic purposes.
- Nile University has already started program of subsidized educational opportunities and excellence benefits for qualified but less privileged students especially those from peripheral states and refugee background.
- We welcome & support young scientists and are open to innovative approaches in education and health services in particular those related to issues in developing countries.
- Nile University has attracted a cadre of highly qualified scientists with wide research interests and experience. We have established a centre for scientific research.
