Success Edwards Love Foundation
SELF serves vulnerable children across Nigeria, Cameroon, India, and the United States through food, education, healthcare, mentorship, and love — one child at a time.
"I have watched a single meal change a child's whole day. I have watched one caring adult change a child's whole life. This is why we do this work."
— Dr. Success Edwards, Founder & President
Our Mission
We believe every child deserves to be fed, educated, cared for, and loved — no matter where they were born. Our programs meet children's most urgent needs while building the long-term foundations for a hopeful future.
