WHO WE ARE

Rolan Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established with a mandate to create a realistic, effective, and impactful difference in the lives of vulnerable and less-privileged persons living in urban, rural, and hard-to-reach communities in Nigeria.

Under our CSR imperatives, we implement educational support programs with initiatives such as the distribution of books and writing materials to selected public primary schools, distribution of school uniforms, school sandals, and other basic stationaries. We also embarked on classroom renovation, computer room setup, and library installation projects.

Our Energy and Rural Electrification Projects include street light installation, safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions such as dustbin installation, borehole water installation projects, and distribution of sanitary pads to young teenagers within the rural community.

Our Capacity Development Initiatives include Digital skills training in Product Design, Data Analysis, Web development, Microsoft PowerPoint & Microsoft Excel training, Digital Marketing, and Software Development. We also provide carefully structured vocational training programs in shoe and bag making, hairstyling, fashion designing, and photography

Our welfare initiatives cover food bank distribution, food, and drug support for the aged/elderly, medical outreaches, counseling, and clothes and shoe distribution.

Furthermore, we empower young women to start their businesses through our Business Empowerment for Women Programme. Annually, we conduct seminars, workshops, and youth empowerment programs.
