“NOOF is a child of purpose, it is an organization we are putting forward when we feel the society is challenged and we have been putting lots of efforts in the past in some areas of interventions. At this time we say let us restructure it into key thematic areas, namely, funding of education for the less privilege, that is, good access to quality education”
