ABOUT US
The Rufina Children’s Foundation is a London-based charity aimed at helping children fulfill their potential through education, healthy nutrition, and emotional support amongst other things. The Foundation’s name is personal, named after the founders’ family member passionate about charity work and the effects of inequalities on children’s lives. Although we have operated informally in the UK since 2016 through private donations, we are recently incorporated and are planning a larger global expansion. So far volunteers have been recruited on a largely word of mouth basis and the charity has teams in place in Nigeria, Cameroon, Malaysia, and the US. The aim is to change the lives of children and young adults globally.
The Foundation started after the trustees experienced firsthand the hardships children experienced around the world and were driven to do something about it.
What We Do
Helping children is our primary concern, whatever form that may take. The pandemic has been a particularly challenging time and we have helped families by providing food and paying for hospital treatment. The bigger picture is to enable families to take care of themselves and to this end, we aim to help caregivers establish businesses from which they can derive an income.
