In the last few years, she has been involved in giving support to out of school children by sponsoring their education and providing empowerment programmes to small individual businesses.
In 2020, she founded Kalim Mustaqbal Foundation, a journey that began with a vision for a positive change and recognizing the dire need for quality education for out-of-school children, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds who lacked the financial resources for a better education in Nigeria. This realization ignited a deep desire to make a difference in her community.
To Bilkisu, KMF is more than just a foundation, it’s a beacon of hope committed to empowerment through skill acquisition and development programs for the marginalized and the underserved population. The mission is simple yet profound: To provide access to quality education for children who dream of a brighter future but cannot afford it.
