I felt a calling to start an organisation to help children in Ikorodu go to school; kids like me that struggled because of their impoverished backgrounds. As I shared my story with people around me, God opened doors and resources were provided. We registered a 501c3; a tax exempt non-profit organisation and we set out to sponsor forty kids in our first year (2015/2016). We held a few fundraisers and ended up raising over $20,000. This was enough to sponsor forty children attending six different schools in Ikorodu. This is my first trip back home since the fundraiser and it’s amazing to see the kids we supported last year. We have a dream to support even more kids and eventually build a clinic. My life and experiences set me on this path to help others, and hopefully it is just beginning. I’m still in medical school and currently in my 4th year.
