THE SOWORE FOUNDATION:
When my father, David Omoremilekun Sowore passed in 2005, I stood before the church at his burial and announced a scholarship in his name.
The reason was because my dad was a teacher and he believed in education to the point that he was teacher to his many kids and of the community he grew up in. What began as a small idea—born from grief, hope, and duty—has today, 21 years later, blossomed into something far greater than we could have imagined.
