Dear friends,
Welcome to the home of our foundation.
We have spent about 40 years of our lives combined, working with young people in different capacities, from corporate positions, faith-based establishments, mentoring programs, internships, to various other engagements. Across these different touchpoints, we have come to understand and share in their challenges and misfortunes. Institutional failures, dysfunctional families and eroded value systems have created a less than desirable environment for the average young person to thrive.
Africa is young, Nigeria is very young. At The KO Foundation, we believe that the future of Africa will be built by these young people and the entire continent will be driven to global relevance because of its youth population, not in spite of it. This is why we are dedicating our time, funds and efforts to creating platforms, opportunities and programs that will empower and shape the “African Youth” for global prominence. Between us, our professional networks and partners, we believe that we can make a huge difference.
We invite you to look through our different causes and join us, either as volunteers or partners as we position Africa for exemplary youth leadership, especially between 2020 and 2030.
We look forward to hearing from you and working with your different organizations.
Sincerely,
Topsy & Kola Oyeneyin
