Our mission is to uplift young Mbaise indigenes through education, creating a legacy of empowered leaders who honor our traditions and contribute to a brighter future for our community.

OUR MISSION

At the International Liaison of Mbaise Indigenes (ILMI), our mission is deeply rooted in the values of our Mbaise heritage and the core principle of “onye aghala nwanne ya,” which means “leave no one behind.”

We are committed to transforming lives by providing scholarships to young Mbaise indigenes who are unable to afford tuition, ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue higher education and realize their dreams.

Our work is a tribute to the spirit of communal support and the enduring belief in the power of education.

OUR VISION

We envision a future where every young Mbaise indigene, regardless of their financial background, has access to quality formal and informal education. By investing in education, we aim to create a generation of empowered individuals who will uplift our community, honor our cultural legacy, and contribute to the socio-economic development of Mbaise and beyond.

The story of ILMI is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Mbaise people.

Founded by a group of passionate Mbaise indigenes living in diaspora, ILMI was born from the recognition of the transformative power of education and the urgent need to support our youth.

United by a shared vision, we established an organization that not only provides financial assistance but also fosters a network of mentorship and community support.
