The STEM Teachers Reward and Empowerment Foundation (STREF) was founded in 2020 in Kano State, Nigeria by Love Odion (Mrs.) — a graduate of Social Studies Education, University of Benin. What began as a desire to create a yearly awards ceremony for teachers evolved into an NGO designed to reach, motivate and equip teachers with STEM and capacity-building opportunities.
We identify and celebrate outstanding teachers, deliver impactful projects beyond the classroom, and secure full and partial STEM certification scholarships for teachers across Nigeria and beyond.
We identify, recognize and reward outstanding teachers in Nigeria and around the world. We carry out projects and initiatives geared towards impacting lives beyond classroom performance — and we secure STEM certification scholarships for teachers locally and globally.
Projects, training and recognition — crafted to keep great teachers inspired and growing.
