Who we serve
Restoring dignity, one verified need at a time
KUTH Foundation was founded on 27 May 2011 by Engr. Gerald A. Azonobo to reach people whose needs are real, documented and too often invisible: widows without income, inmates held for want of a bail bond, patients detained over unpaid bills, and children whose schooling stops for the price of an exam form.
“We do not fund estimates. We fund a named person, on a dated day, with a photograph and a receipt.”
Every programme below is run to that standard, and every figure on this page can be traced to the event record that produced it.

Our journey
Fifteen years, told honestly
Including the years we could not deliver. A record that hides its quiet seasons is not a record.
2011
Foundation established
Founded 27 May 2011 by Engr. Gerald A. Azonobo and incorporated 10 November 2011. CAC Reg. No. 48350, SCUML certified. MYP: Maximizing Your Potentials launched — 500+ students, seven social vices addressed.
2012
Official launch & inaugural programmes
Launch dinner at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island. Soccer Fiesta Season 1, Prison Outreach, Orphanage Visitation, Medical Outreach and Widows & Elderly Visitation all begin.
2013
Beyond Lagos, and into the prisons
First outreach outside Lagos — Irekpai, Etsako West LGA, Edo State, where 700+ patients were treated in five days. Back-to-School for inmates sponsors GCE and JAMB forms. Soccer Fiesta Season 2.
2014
Education & creativity
Essay Writing Contest launched across Lagos State secondary schools with scholarships and learning materials as prizes — an academic route into anti-vice messaging.
2015
Legal aid formalised, micro-schemes established
Prisons Outreach adds systematic legal representation and bail assistance. KUTH Micro-Scheme (MSU) begins with village savings groups, asset transfers and a graduation pathway.
2018
Education at scale
Back-to-School GCE Project at Frankkids Park, Festac — indigenous secondary school students supported with free examination forms, study materials and scholarship incentives.
2019
Community & sport
Makoko slum outreach feeding and gifting children; the annual Modupe Cole Memorial Home visit continues; Soccer Fiesta Season 3 draws 32 Under-22 teams.
2020–24
Continued work at reduced scale
Programme activity continued through the pandemic years, with youth work moving to digital skills and online mentoring, and widows and orphanage visits sustained by volunteers.
2025
A year of repositioning
No programme activities were carried out in 2025 because adequate funding was unavailable. The year was used to reposition the Foundation and plan the 2026–2027 programme cycle. We publish this because donors deserve the full record.
2026
Programme master plan, ready to activate
The 2026–2027 Programme Master Plan and planning budget are formalised, with a structured approach to grants, partnerships, sponsorships and in-kind support. Allocations are approved; funding is what remains.
Where we have worked
Lagos out, then wider
KUTH began in Lagos and moved outward as verified needs were referred to us — schools, prisons, villages, clinics and care homes. Referrals are screened before any commitment is made.

Accountability
How we account for every naira
Event-level reporting
Each outreach publishes a dated record with photographs, beneficiary counts and the partners involved. Nothing is aggregated into an unverifiable total.
Registered & certified
CAC Registration No. 48350 and SCUML certification RNSC251400170, with statutory filings maintained.
Restricted funding honoured
Sponsor and grant funds are applied to the designated programme line only, and reported against that line.
Honest about gaps
Where funding did not arrive and activity paused — as in 2025 — we say so on the record rather than quietly omit the year.
CAC 48350SCUML certifiedEst. 2011Verified as of August 2026.
Fund the next record
The plan is approved. The beneficiaries are identified. Only the funding is outstanding.
Partner with KUTH on a 2026–2027 programme line and your name sits on a dated, photographed, publicly published record — the same standard as every figure on this page.
