Transforming Communities in South-Western Nigeria
Ever wondered how one small act of kindness can ripple through a whole community? That’s exactly how Skillbuilders began—and it’s why you’re here.
Our Story
From emergency response to sustainable empowerment—discover how we evolved to create lasting change in South-Western Nigeria.
COVID-19 hit. Schools closed, markets slowed. We packed relief baskets and delivered palliatives door-to-door in Ibadan, Abeokuta and beyond.
We asked ourselves: 'Can we do more than just respond to crises?' Inspired by that question, we gathered like-minded friends—teachers, artisans, bankers, community volunteers—from both Nigeria and overseas.
Skillbuilders Charity Foundation was born. Registered, energized, and ready to build skills, spark small businesses, and make sure no elder goes without the basics of life.
"I never imagined my tailoring hobby could feed my family. Today, I run my own shop."
— Aisha, 26, Lagos
