Who We Are

A Foundation Built on
Compassion & Action

The Christiana Olawumi Foundation (COF) was born from a deep conviction that every person — regardless of their circumstances — deserves access to health care, safety, and opportunity. Since 2003, we have been on the ground in Oyo State, walking alongside the most vulnerable to create lasting change.

Formerly known as the Positive Action Committee (PAC), COF is a registered community-based organisation. We care for orphans and vulnerable children, support people living with HIV/AIDS, fight TB and malaria, and empower widows, widowers and the less privileged — in every Local Government Area of Oyo State and across South-West Nigeria.

❤
Child Protection
We place the safety and dignity of every child at the centre of all we do — from our orphanage to our OVC programme.
🏥
Community Health
Free HIV testing, TB screening, and FGM prevention are delivered directly to underserved communities.
🌱
Sustainable Impact
We build local capacity, partner with government agencies, and measure everything — because accountability matters.
