Financial filings reveal the foundation received $1 million in contributions during 2024 and maintained approximately $1.6 million in net assets as of 2025. The organisation reported $233,000 in expenditures over the period, with funds directed toward programme activities aligned with its educational mandate.
The foundation's primary initiative—establishing a school facility in Nigeria—has encountered several obstacles that have prolonged the timeline for completion. Land acquisition complications and construction-related challenges have necessitated adjustments to the project's scope and location.
Plans for the educational facility have evolved over recent months, with the proposed site shifting from Makoko to Yaba. Despite these setbacks, foundation representatives indicate that feasibility assessments and preliminary supply procurement for the school have commenced, suggesting continued momentum toward the project's realisation.
The foundation's accumulation of capital and initiation of groundwork activities point to sustained commitment to its education-focused mission in the region, even as external factors continue to complicate the timeline for launching the school facility.
