Access to technology is an important part of learning and personal development. These laptops will support educational activities and provide the children with additional tools for learning and skill building.

We remain grateful to our donor whose generosity made this possible. Partnerships and acts of kindness like this help us continue creating opportunities for the children and young people we support.

At TOKAN Foundation, every contribution goes a long way in shaping brighter futures.

Our Programme & Operations Associate is regularly in court monitoring ongoing cases handled by CRJJC, ensuring that children in conflict with the law are not left unheard or unsupported.

Through the dedication of our volunteer lawyers, CRJJC maintains a consistent presence in court, providing pro bono legal representation and standing in the gap for children who cannot stand alone.

At every stage, we work to ensure fairness, dignity, and protection within the Child Justice System.

The Child Rights and Juvenile Justice Center (CRJJC), registered as Child Rights and Juvenile Advocacy Center with CAC/IT/No/193337, is the legal services arm of TOKAN Foundation. We provide legal support to children and juveniles in Nigeria. Our wholistic approach to child rights advocacy and juvenile justice helps to ensure that children and juveniles receive needed support in and out of the court room.

It was an engaging and enlightening session where students learned about Child’s Rights and Child Justice Administration, gaining a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities.

The learning didn’t stop at discussions. The students also participated in fun activities including “Picasso Me,” where they were asked to draw the stage, with the best drawings receiving gifts. Another interactive game, “Be My Lawyer,” challenged students to think like child advocates, and the winners were also rewarded with branded CRJJC tshirts.

The session ended on a cheerful note with snacks and soft drinks, rounding off an afternoon filled with learning, creativity, and laughter.

At CRJJC, we believe that empowering young people with knowledge of their rights is a vital step toward building confident and responsible citizens.

On Tuesday, 24th February, our team delivered essential drugs and medical supplies to the Special Correctional Centre for Boys, Oregun (SCCB) and the Correctional Centre for Senior Boys, Isheri (CCSB). On Wednesday, 25th February, the team continued deliveries to the Correctional Centre for Junior Boys, Birrel, Yaba (CCJB), the Special Correctional Centre for Girls, Idi-Araba (SCCG), and the Correctional Centre for Girls, Idi-Araba (CCCG).

Donations included paracetamol, dewormers, antimalarials, cough syrups, amoxicillin antibiotics, antifungal and antibacterial creams, antacids, medical gloves, and gauze bandages.

These medicines and medical supplies will support the health and well-being of the children across these facilities and help ensure that common illnesses can be treated promptly. This follows our recent delivery to the Borstal Institution in Adigbe, Ogun State, on 14th February 2026.

At TOKAN Foundation, partnerships like these help us ensure that children in correctional centres receive not only education and legal support, but also the healthcare resources necessary for their well-being.

At TOKAN Foundation and the Child Rights & Juvenile Justice Centre (CRJJC), we see every day how giving creates opportunity. When we give girls access to education, mentorship, and protection under the law, they gain confidence, dignity, and the power to shape their own futures.

Through scholarships, welfare support, legal advocacy, and community education, we continue to invest in girls and young women who deserve the chance to learn, grow, and lead.

Because when we give to girls and women, we gain stronger communities, fairer systems, and a more hopeful future for everyone.

This International Women’s Day, we invite you to join us.

What will you give to gain gender equality?

Happy International Women’s Day.

Two days later, on Saturday, 21 February 2026, we were also present at the Open/Visiting Day at Let It Shine Academy (LISA), a free secondary boarding school in Lagos, where we proudly support 19 students.

During both engagements, our team met one-on-one with each student’s teachers. We carefully reviewed academic performance, discussed social and behavioural development, and assessed overall emotional and mental well-being. Where improvement was needed, we explored practical strategies and agreed on clear next steps to ensure continued progress.

At TOKAN Foundation, our support goes beyond the payment of school fees and provision of school supplies. We believe in active monitoring, consistent engagement, and shared accountability, because true impact is measured not only by enrolment, but by growth. Sponsorship at TOKAN Foundation is not a one-time intervention, it is a sustained investment in each child’s holistic growth and long-term future.

It was heartwarming to see the boys excited to receive us, and we were encouraged by the positive feedback shared by their teachers regarding their progress and development.

Together, we are not just keeping children in school. We are walking with them every step of the way.

The post Open Day Visits: Reviewing the Educational Progress of Our Beneficiaries appeared first on TOKAN Foundation.

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. During our initial visit in October 2025, we sat with the institution’s management to understand the most pressing needs of the young boys in their care. We left that day with a commitment to return with practical solutions. Today, we are grateful to have honoured that promise.

Beyond Healthcare: The Fight for Justice

Through the Child Rights & Juvenile Justice Center (CRJJC), our impact goes beyond medical supplies. We are currently working to bridge the gap in legal representation for boys who have been awaiting trial, some since as far back as 2020. By verifying court records and following up with the Ministry of Justice, we are ensuring that no child is forgotten by the legal system.

Our deepest thanks go to Drug Aid Africa. Their partnership ensures that “impact” isn’t just a buzzword, but a tangible reality for underserved communities.

At TOKAN Foundation, we believe collaboration is the key to sustainability. We will continue to show up, intervene, and advocate for those who need it most.

The post A Promise Kept: Restoring Health and Hope at Adigbe Borstal Institute appeared first on TOKAN Foundation.

Today, school doors reopen and with them come new beginnings for our children. For many, returning to school is more than lessons and timetables, it is a chance to feel safe, supported, and hopeful again. Within the walls of a classroom, confidence is nurtured, dreams are awakened, and futures begin to take shape.

As this new term begins, we are reminded that many children still return to school without the essentials they need to learn and thrive. This is why we need your continued support. Your generosity enables us to provide school supplies, basic necessities, and the care required to ensure no child is left behind.

Your support is more than a contribution, it is a lifeline. It reassures a child that they matter and that their dreams are worth fighting for. With your partnership, we can ensure every child starts this term prepared, encouraged, and full of possibility.

Together, we can keep children in school, protect their right to education, and help them build brighter futures. Thank you for believing in them and for walking this journey with us.

Partner with us today, your donation/sponsorship can keep a child in school.

From January through December 2025, TOKAN Foundation and its legal arm, the Child Rights & Juvenile Justice Centre (CRJJC), remained steadfast in our shared mission: to ensure that no child or young person is denied a future of possibilities by providing education, welfare support, and access to child-centred justice that restores hope, dignity, and opportunity.

1st Term Report (September–December 2025)

During the 1st Term, TOKAN Foundation provided critical educational and welfare support to ensure stability, dignity, and continuity in learning for our beneficiaries.

Our School Supplies for School Children back to school drive enabled children to resume the academic session fully prepared. Between September and December 2025, a total of ₦6,351,500 (approximately USD $4,327) was expended on:

These built on our year-long educational support programme, which also covered:

• National examination fees (JAMB, Junior WAEC & Senior WAEC)

• Post-UTME fees for 3 students

• Payment of school fees 2 university students and accommodation for 1 student

Every Naira spent reflects our commitment to dignity, access to justice, and equal opportunity for every child.

Legal Advocacy through CRJJC

Through CRJJC, we maintained a strong and consistent presence in court, providing pro bono legal representation for children in conflict with the law. Our team stood in for children who could not stand alone, ensuring due process, fairness, and child-friendly procedures within the Child Justice System.

Welfare Check-Ins and Engagement

Our team conducted bi-weekly welfare visits to three children’s centres (CCJB, CCSB, and CCCG), ensuring continuity of care and emotional support. These visits also created space for positive engagement through activities such as:

• Frisbee trainings

• Movies

• Games and recreational sessions

• Social welfare support

These moments of play and connection were vital in promoting emotional well-being and restoring a sense of normalcy.
