TOKAN Foundation empowers children with ₦3,770,570 (approx. US$2,450) worth of education, social, medical and legal support between April and August 2025

The soul of humanity is found in the way we treat our children, ensuring their basic needs are met and their rights are respected. We're filled with gratitude for the progress made and the lives touched. With your support, we've been able to reach more children and families with critical support that bring hope, dignity and opportunity.

Here is a look at what we accomplished together during the Third Term Academic Session and Long Vacation:

At TOKAN Foundation, it is our conviction that education is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. We believe that every child, regardless of circumstance, deserves access to quality learning and the support they need to succeed from basic necessities, like school supplies and meals, to additional resources, like tutorials and healthcare, so they can reach their full potential. Over the years, we’ve empowered hundreds of children with access to quality education, providing comprehensive support that includes tuition scholarships, daily lunch stipends, school supplies, social support, after school and national examination preparatory lessons, monthly internet/data support, legal representation through our Child Rights and Juvenile Justice Center ("CRJJC”).

In the 3rd Term and Long Vacation of the 2024/2025 Academic Year, we provided educational, social, medical, and legal support through CRJJC to dozens of children.

In addition, we did the following:

• CRJJC conducted its Know Your Rights Initiative at St Timothy College and at children’s correctional centres across Lagos;
• we partnered with Drug Aid Africa to donate essential drugs and supplies to four children's centers across Lagos;
• we donated sanitary pads and panty liners to Special Correctional Center for Girls, Idi Araba (“SCCG);
• we purchased wristwatches for our graduating students, courtesy of one of our sponsors, and purchased their graduation outfits;
• TOKAN Foundation was recognized as the Best Child Advocacy and Juvenile Justice NPO 2025 – Nigeria by Acquisition International under their annual Non-Profit Organisation Awards.

Finally, Omobolanle Ajipe joined TOKAN Foundation and CRJJC as our Programme and Operations Associate. Mobola loves watching movies and reading. She also loves children, hence her desire to work with us.
