One Yorùbá word.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ means light. Not the light of a slogan — the light you switch on in a room where someone is trying to work.
Our founder
Chief (Mrs) Titilola
Adebusola Adeleke
First Lady of Osun State. Sociologist. Businesswoman. Mother of three. Chief of Ila-Orangun.
Renewed Hope Initiative
State Coordinator for Osun — the national programme of Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Education
Project Matron, South West Educational Intervention Project. A role given for work, not for position.
Her tenure has returned again and again to the same people: women who trade, girls in school, widows, elders, and those living with disability. Since 2023 that work has increasingly moved online — laptops, skills, and the digital economy.
The Foundation
What we are
A Nigerian non-governmental organisation working across Osun State. Deliberately narrow. We do four things and we try to do them properly.
Digital skills
Laptops, training and connectivity, so a woman can earn from a screen.
Livelihoods
Capital for widows and market traders, to restart or grow a business.
Girls' education
A trade in her hands before she leaves secondary school.
Inclusion
Equipment and support for elders and persons with disabilities.
How we work
Four rules
No number without a source
Every figure on this website links to the newspaper that reported it.
No cheque without a programme
Grants sit inside training and follow-up. Not a handshake and a photograph.
No claiming another's work
Where a programme was a partnership, the partner is named.
No English-only
Osun is a Yorùbá state. This website reads in both languages.
Governance
Registration
