TOLA ADEBAJO FOUNDATION
TOLA ADEBAJO FOUNDATION is a non-governmental organization (NGO). TAF was founded in June 2021 as a pet project and out of the desire of the founder, Prince Omotola Adebajo (B.Sc, PGDE, PGDTM, MPA, MSC, MNIS, MCIPDM) to give back to society and make a difference amongst his kinsmen as well as in the larger community.
The initiative, operated under Matthew & Joke Adebajo Foundation, and existed between 2017 and 2021 with Oluwatosin & Olubukonla Adebajo, Olamide & Peace Adebajo, Francis & Adetomiwa Oluyen, as well as Omotola & Hope Adebajo as Founding members. Although, the motive was to immortalise their late parents; a desire which was fulfilled as several orphans and widows were uplifted from hunger through save-a-soul initiative while hundreds of public primary school pupils were encouraged and supported to stay in school. Collectively, the name “Mathew & Joke Adebajo” was rested to pave the way for the new nomenclature (TOLA ADEBAJO Foundation).
TAF expanded its scope of operations tailored towards 5 cardinal focuses, critical of self-development, experience, and reliance
These include the following:
a. Education
b. Health
c. Human Capital Development
d. Youth & Sports
e. Supports for Small and Medium Scale Entrepreneurs
At least over 500 indigenous pupils in government owned schools have been supported and provided with cash and school materials such uniforms and writing materials at every academic session.
The foundation since inception targets 5000 vulnerable and indigenous children every academic year and has continued to put smiles on the faces of students and their parents through various empowerment initiatives.
