Our Projects
Every project undertaken by the Abiodun Omolara Layeni Foundation reflects our commitment to practical solutions that improve lives, strengthen communities, and create sustainable opportunities — from agricultural training and health outreaches to humanitarian relief and economic empowerment.
Our Approach
Projects are more than events — they are carefully designed interventions that respond to real community needs.
Each initiative begins with listening to the people we serve, understanding local challenges, and working alongside community leaders to implement solutions that are relevant, sustainable, and impactful.
Our projects are driven by collaboration, accountability, and a commitment to lasting change.
Ongoing project
We are collecting textbooks and storybooks to start a library at the House of Refuge — our home for displaced widows, their children, and orphans. Once established, we plan to replicate the library in other states.
New or gently used books are welcome.
For school-going children from primary to college level. All subjects are welcome.
Children's storybooks, moral stories, picture books, activity books, dictionaries and encyclopedias.
Opens access to education, brings joy and healing to young hearts, and helps children dream bigger.
A shared space for learning, growth, and community at the House of Refuge — and beyond.
Featured Projects
Growing Food. Growing Futures.
The Agricultural Skills Training Programme equipped widows and their daughters with practical farming knowledge, modern agricultural techniques, and sustainable livelihood strategies to improve food security and household income.
Objectives
Honouring Strength. Celebrating Resilience.
To commemorate International Widows Day, AOL Foundation organised a community outreach programme that brought widows together for awareness, encouragement, community engagement, and advocacy. The event reinforced our commitment to restoring dignity while raising awareness of the challenges widows continue to face.
Promoting Healthy Living.
Recognising that access to healthcare is essential for community development, AOL Foundation organised health education sessions for elderly widows, focusing on preventive healthcare, wellness, and healthy ageing. Participants also received practical guidance on maintaining healthier lifestyles and accessing healthcare services.
Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods.
Economic independence is essential for long-term resilience. Through this initiative, widows received support to establish and grow small-scale businesses, enabling them to generate sustainable income and improve their quality of life. The programme focused on coal trading as a practical income-generating opportunity within the local community.
Protecting Vision. Improving Well-being.
Access to quality eye care remains limited in many underserved communities. This outreach provided widows with free eye examinations and basic vision assessments, promoting early detection of eye conditions and encouraging timely treatment.
Providing Shelter. Restoring Hope.
Conflict and insecurity continue to displace widows and their children across Nigeria. To respond to this growing challenge, AOL Foundation established the House of Refuge — a temporary shelter providing displaced widows and their children with safety, dignity, and support while they rebuild their lives. Beyond accommodation, the initiative connects beneficiaries to humanitarian assistance and pathways toward long-term stability.
