Christiana Olawumi Foundation

The Christiana Olawumi Foundation (COF) is a registered non-profit organization based in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria. It describes itself as a community-centered organization committed to improving health, restoring dignity, and creating opportunities for vulnerable individuals and families. Its work spans orphanage care, support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), community health interventions, and household strengthening. The Foundation operates a safe and nurturing Home for children who require temporary or long-term care, providing shelter, nutrition, emotional support, and access to education in a stable and protective environment. Beyond residential care, it supports orphans and vulnerable children within their families and communities through caregivers, aiming to keep children in safe, stable, and supportive households. In the health domain, COF implements Active Case Finding (ACF) programs for Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV to identify undiagnosed cases early, link clients to treatment, and support adherence within the community. Its teams work directly in communities to reduce disease burden, improve health outcomes, and prevent further transmission. The Foundation also raises awareness on TB and HIV, provides HIV testing, conducts TB screening, and connects people to essential treatment and care. A significant part of COF's work is its Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) prevention programme, implemented across five Local Government Areas in Ogbomosho. The programme uses community-led advocacy, capacity building, and sustained engagement, including training community champions and traditional leaders, community awareness and dialogue sessions, and monitoring of progress and community feedback. The Foundation also empowers households, especially elderly persons, through financial and social support that strengthens their wellbeing. Its stated mission is to provide care, protection, and opportunity for orphaned and vulnerable children, empower households and caregivers, and deliver community-based health and social support services that improve the well-being of underserved populations. Its vision is a society where every child is safe, healthy, and supported, families are empowered, and vulnerable individuals live with dignity and hope. Core values include compassion, accountability, excellence, and child protection and safeguarding. COF is registered as a non-profit and is headquartered at No 3 Pakoyi layout, Christiana Olawumi Foundation building, Idi Oro, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria. Its website states that more than 1000+ people have been helped.
