Kola Olugbodi Foundation lifts over 200 students

No fewer than 200 students benefitted from educations items courtesy of the Kola Olugbodi Foundation at its maiden Back to School outreach at Majidun in Ikorodu, Lagos.

The initiative was organised to support students preparing for the new academic session and provide practical assistance within the community.

Although the original target was 200 students, attendance exceeded expectations, and the team accommodated the additional children with support from community representatives and volunteers.

The founder, Dr. Kola Olugbodi, attended with members of his team who interacted with the beneficiaries and encouraged them to pursue their education and aspirations.

Olugbodi is Managing Director of Background Check International (BCI) in Lagos.

Community representatives helped coordinate participants and supported the organisation of the programme.

The collaboration enabled the Foundation to respond to the larger turnout and reach more students than initially planned.

The outreach reflects the Foundation’s focus on education, resilience and access to opportunity. Alongside immediate assistance, the initiative sought to encourage students to recognise their potential and approach the school year with renewed confidence.

The Majidun programme is the Foundation’s first community outreach and starting point for its ambition to extend support to more communities and young people.

Kola Olugbodi Foundation is a social impact initiative committed to helping underserved people overcome barriers and build better futures.

Through education support, community outreach and encouragement, the Foundation promotes resilience, dignity and opportunity.

It stands for compassion expressed through practical action, the development of human potential, and the belief that difficult circumstances should not limit a person’s aspirations.
