Why We Exist

The Problem
We're Solving

Millions of children across Africa face overlapping barriers that keep them from growing, learning, and thriving.

Limited Access to Quality EducationOvercrowded classrooms, limited teacher contact time, and the inability to afford private tutorials leave academically capable students far behind.

Period Poverty Affecting Girls' AttendanceMany girls miss school every month due to inadequate access to sanitary products. Girls with disabilities face even greater vulnerability.

Malnutrition in Orphanages & CommunitiesChildren in institutional care often face nutritional instability. Hunger directly affects physical development, emotional well-being, and academic concentration.

These Challenges Are InterconnectedA child who is malnourished cannot learn effectively. A child who is unhealthy misses school. A child who misses school falls behind.

Our primary focus — the most critical window for intervention

"A child cannot thrive if education, health, and nutrition are treated separately. One Africa Foundation was built on this single, powerful belief."

Who We Are

Rooted in Purpose,
Driven by Impact

One Africa Foundation is built around a simple but powerful belief: that every African child deserves a fair opportunity to succeed.

Our Vision

An Africa where every child has a fair opportunity to succeed in life — where children are able to attend school consistently, learn effectively, remain healthy, and receive adequate nutrition.

Our Mission

To improve the lives of African children through practical, community-based programmes that strengthen education, promote wellness, and improve nutrition. Nigeria is our starting point — Africa is our horizon.

Our Approach

We focus on three integrated pillars: Education, Wellness, and Nutrition. Each programme is deliberately targeted, with defined beneficiaries and measurable outcomes — ensuring depth, accountability, and real impact.

What We Stand For

Our Core
Values

Every decision we make, every programme we run, every partnership we form is guided by these five values.

Equity

We prioritise the most disadvantaged children — those from low-income households and marginalised groups.

Dignity

All interventions are delivered in ways that respect the dignity of children and their families, especially in sensitive areas like hygiene.

Accountability

Funds, materials, and programmes are carefully tracked, documented, and reported to donors and Board members.

Sustainability

We focus on strengthening local capacity, reducing dependency, and building long-term resilience within communities.

Collaboration

We work closely with schools, parents, community leaders, local organisations, and government institutions.

What We Do

Three Integrated
Programme Pillars

Each pillar reinforces the others. Tutorials are more effective when children are well-fed. Girls attend school consistently when menstrual needs are met.

Pillar 1 — Education

Academic Tutorial Support

Structured tutorial classes focused on core WAEC and JAMB subjects for students from Government Secondary School, Sabo, and children from our adopted orphanage.

Small-group teaching with qualified tutors & volunteers
Past examination questions & exam technique coaching
Ongoing support — not one-off sessions
Scholarships for WAEC/JAMB exam sittings
University scholarship programme for qualifying students

Pillar 2 — Wellness

Monthly menstrual care packages for girls in need

Structured nutrition support programmes
Strengthening long-term care systems

Signature Initiative

Dignity to Learn
Initiative

"Dignity. Education. Every Month." — No girl should miss school because of her period.

Menstrual hygiene remains one of the most underaddressed barriers to girls' education in Nigeria. Our Dignity to Learn Initiative was created to change this — permanently.

Sensitisation & Hygiene Talks

Age-appropriate education sessions that break down stigma and equip girls with knowledge about their bodies and menstrual health.

Monthly Menstrual Care Packages

Discreet, dignified distribution of sanitary pads and hygiene materials every month to girls who need them most.

School Attendance Focus

By removing the barrier of period poverty, we encourage girls to stay in school — confident, healthy, and ready to learn.

Priority Target Groups

Girls at the School of Special Needs, Kaduna, and girls reached through the Asaba menstrual hygiene intervention.
