Our Story

About CRA Foundation

Established in 2010 and incorporated in March 2011 — over a decade of nurturing underprivileged children in Lagos, Nigeria.

Our Story

Born from Compassion

The Children's Right Advocate Foundation was born out of deep compassion for needy and street children who are particularly susceptible to being co-opted into vices or becoming victims of trafficking, dangerous child labour, and other social ills.

Unlike organisations that simply "dash out" money as a one-time gesture, we have a deep longing to be involved in the complete well-being of these children — addressing education, nutrition, health, and emotional development together.

We recognised that you cannot sell the idea of education to a child who is hungry. This is why we ensure the total well-being of each child, walking alongside them every step of the way.
