...Improving Positive Character and Reputation

The foundation (GIDALICE Foundation) came to  being in honor of Gideon Olaniyan and Alice Oyepate Adebayo which aims to encourage upright behavior among our kids and youths. Most Institutions will promote and reward academic excellence, but the present generation is not adequately encouraged and rewarded for good and upright behavior in the society. In fact, good and upright behavior will be mocked or such person called names and ostracized by their peers. 

This foundation is based on Improving Positive Character and Reputation in the mind of the kids and youth, while their character revolves around who they truly are, their values and their reputation is how others perceive those things about you. Character and reputation can’t be ignored. The interwoven roles they play are incredibly important to our success as individuals, colleagues, and leaders.

At GidAlice Foundation we aim to create an avenue to motivate, support and influence peaceful cohabitation made possible through upright lifestyle. In order to make this happen GIDALICE Foundation will facilitate the awareness, understanding, development and confidence in exhibiting effective characters that will build the positive reputation in education, personal and career development of young people in Ede town.

Here are seven positive reputations that will  be rewarded by GIDALICE Foundation.
