Fola Ogunshola Foundation

Background It is a known fact that the present crops of Nigerian graduates do not meet societal expectations in terms of attitude to the issues of life. This is biting hard on the labour environment and equally has consequential effect on their career pathway. This has resulted to frustration for some of them, with resultant effects as corruption, militancy, hostility and so on, in the society. As part of the contribution to providing solution to this issue, Mrs. Fola Ogunsola, the founder and Promoter of Fola Ogunsola Foundation, initiated a training project to drive change of attitude in the Nigerian undergraduates. This project is been financed by the Fola Ogunsola Foundation located at No 2 Hameed Kasumu Street, Chevy View Estate, Chevron Drive, Lekki - Lagos. This project is a selfless service, born out of the passion to do something about the problem highlighted above, and make a quota contribution to the development of Nigeria. The vision is to instill good sense of values and understanding in the Nigerian graduates, thus making them employable. Project Objectives At the end of the training, the students would be able to appreciate the importance of the following: • Our ethics and values, • Positive attitude to work and coping with socio-economic issues • Dealing with difficult life circumstances, • Positive attitudes for managing relationship issues and solving conflicts. • Exceptional thinking & self empowerment for a fulfilled life

Fondation Lance d’Afrique Burundi (Fondation-LAB)

Fondation-LAB is a non-profit organisation focused on social entrepreneurship and women's empowerment in Africa and beyond. We aim to achieve these goals through awareness, consulting, training, mentorship, innovation, and research. These activities enable us to provide opportunities for women to participate and invest in the political and economic Management of their countries. Through capacity building for previously vulnerable and marginalised groups, we can effect positive social change. We specialise in identifying cultural, economic and infrastructure obstacles to women's empowerment, and working with individual women and their communities to overcome these. We believe that social entrepreneurship helps to create more prosperous, peaceful societies and that by enabling and encouraging women to become engaged in more economically productive activities, we can help them to transform the fortunes of their families and communities and contribute to their nation's GDP. In everything we do, we are guided by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which provide a blueprint for better societies for all people, rural or urban, in Africa or elsewhere. Fondation-LAB is extremely open to collaborating with like-minded individuals and organisations that share our beliefs and vision. Indeed, we recognise that it is only through cooperation with stakeholders at every level that we can achieve tangible success and make a positive, lasting difference in the lives of women and youth. We also address related issues including gender-based violence. Only by overcoming such obstacles – and by involving relatable, peer-group mentors – can we help women to unleash their entrepreneurial potential and achieve a new degree of independence and autonomy. We are committed to enabling self-realisation and being the catalyst of personal and financial growth for women. We believe that these are vital first steps to more vibrant, just and fair communities for all.
