To enhance the well-being, education, and health of children in school, pregnant women, and children under the age of two by providing targeted interventions and support in nutrition, healthcare, and educational empowerment.
The Darah Foundation is a youth-driven, community-powered non-profit that’s rewriting the story for children, pregnant women, and young families in underserved communities of Lagos Mainland, Nigeria.
We believe in creating a world where no child goes to school hungry, no mother faces childbirth alone, and no infant is left without basic healthcare in their most vulnerable years.
This isn’t charity.
It’s community. Equity. Action.
Every Naira, Dollar, or Pound goes directly to life-changing programs. We’ve got full transparency and real-time impact updates.
We team up with schools, brands, health workers, and change-makers like you. Let’s collaborate.
The smallest ripple of kindness creates waves of change.
At The Darah Foundation, we don’t just talk about change – we deliver it, one child, one meal, and one step at a time. Below are two of our flagship community-powered projects transforming lives on the ground:
“Every Child Deserves to Walk with Dignity.”
“Because learning on an empty stomach is almost impossible”
What’s the problem? For many children in our target communities, the only guaranteed meal they receive is not at home - it's from school, or the community if at all. Hunger affects their focus, attendance, and even their mental and physical development.
What’s the problem? Despite advancements in healthcare, many women, particularly in underserved communities continue to face significant challenges during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These challenges include limited access to quality maternal healthcare services, lack of education on prenatal and postnatal wellness, inadequate emotional and mental health support, and disparities in health outcomes. These issues contribute to higher rates of maternal morbidity and mortality, negatively impacting both mothers and their children.
