A chance to learn. Room to grow.
Supporting children experiencing poverty through education, creativity and community.

Trophimus Foundation
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn
Trophimus Foundation supports children experiencing poverty through education and opportunities to grow. Based in Ikoga, Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn. We believe that a child’s circumstances should not decide their opportunity to learn.
Our focus is education, personal growth and time together as a community. We want children to have room to discover their interests, build confidence and develop their abilities.
Education
Access to learning is at the heart of our work. Our focus includes primary and secondary education, books and the learning materials children need.
Skills & creativity
Learning goes beyond the classroom. Creative activities and practical skills give children ways to explore ideas and discover what they enjoy.
Character & confidence
We value kindness, responsibility and respect. Encouragement and opportunities to take part help children build confidence in themselves and consideration for others.
Learning & community
Time to learn, play and celebrate
Our activities include Christmas parties, Children’s Day celebrations and summer holiday camps. These are opportunities for children to spend time together, enjoy activities and celebrate as a community.
