Who We Are
An educational foundation growing out of Africa
ICED — Innovating Creativity & Educational Development — is committed to improving lives through education, creativity, community development, humanitarian support and access to meaningful opportunity. We believe sustainable development begins when people are given the resources, knowledge and encouragement they need to thrive.
Our dream is to build a learning shelter for underprivileged children all over the world, starting from Africa outward.

Our First Initiative
LA Government Primary School, Ajegunle
Our first outreach put shoes on the feet of children who needed them most: over 403 pairs of school sandals for students whose own had worn through, and more than 1,000 exercise books distributed to every student in the school. We stayed to teach, to play, and to share a light refreshment together.
We remain grateful to the teachers of LA Primary School Ajegunle for welcoming us on short notice, and to the State Universal Basic Education Board for lending their support to the growth of this work.
