Since September 2020, we have been giving out Sholly COVID-19 Care packages to vulnerable families in need every month. In each package, each family gets bags of rice, beans, garri and vegetable oil.
On June 12, 2021, The Foundation opened the doors to its Shelter: The Sholly Serenity Place aka Sholly’s Safe Home. It is a ten-bed Jesus Christ-Centric Safe Haven and an Oasis of Serenity for survivors of domestic abuse and their children. Our WHY is to provide safe, temporary accommodation for our residents while they receive counselling and legal advice from Lagos State’s Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) or the NGO/ Church handling their cases.
We believe that knowing that she will have a safe place to lay her head will facilitate a quicker and smoother transition from despair to hope as she works with her Counsellor and/or Lawyer. This will, in turn, hasten her readiness to take the needed next steps towards her future. Guests referred to us are accommodated, fed and cared for totally free of cost. Our core values are Care, Compassion, Honesty and Respect for People.
In May 2024, to honor the memories of loved ones gone, we launched the Adefolalu Love is A Verb (ALiVe) initiative. This social safety-net provides a N25,000 monthly allowance to extremely economically vulnerable women from across eight states in Nigeria. Our hope is to have reached families across Nigeria come Q4 2026 or sooner.
