How it began

Small acts of giving became a movement.

In 2015, Tomi Otudeko, Foluso Gbadamosi and Eniola Harrison began pooling monthly donations to support women and children at Massey Street Children’s Hospital and the Shelter for Abused Women and Children.

What started without an office or formal structure grew through consistency. Monthly outreach led to scholarships, emergency relief, healthcare support and, eventually, a dedicated digital learning centre serving children in Somolu.

“There was only a commitment: to serve with love.”
