Who We Are
About Us
The Background
Ruth Titilayo (Iya Taiwo) was born in 1952, attended Abeokuta Girls Grammar School and the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. She was very passionate about education. She was even more passionate about helping the less privileged. On the 20th anniversary of her death at 50, it is only natural that these two passions birth the Ruth Titilayo Foundation.
Whilst this is a new venture for us all, the core tenets have always been there, helping others is in our DNA.
Come walk with us.
Why We Exist

Our ultimate goal is to create a world where our services are no longer needed, where every child has access to quality education without any barriers.
Until that day comes, we are committed to doing everything in our power to ensure that the most disadvantaged communities have access to quality education.
