Ibadan Smiles:
On May 14th, 2023, the Ibilola Agbeke Foundation brought joy and support to the vibrant city of Ibadan! In celebration of our founder’s birthday, we focused our efforts on empowering children, women, and the elderly, tackling critical challenges within the community.
We understand that education is the cornerstone of a brighter future. To ensure a constant supply of needed school supplies, we distributed essential materials, alleviating the burden on families and supporting consistent learning. We also addressed the pressing issue of food insecurity by providing vital food supplies, helping to nourish and strengthen vulnerable households.
Recognizing the complex factors behind school dropout rates, we began laying the groundwork for future programs aimed at tackling these underlying issues, striving to keep children in the classroom.
