Long story short!
We are an impact-oriented not-for-profit organization, dedicated to improving the lives of those in Nigeria with the fewest resources. We do this by securing funding, to execute on community projects that have lasting positive impact and open up more opportunities for prosperity. When you give, 100% of every dollar goes straight to our mission.

the Tribe.
These are the women behind the Touch Root Gala, Touch Root Foundation’s annual semi-black tie fundraiser. The Tribe designs and executes the event's concept and visual language, ensuring transparency and accountability to build public trust and confidence. Their goal is to create a memorable donor experience that fosters a sense of community among donors and empathy for the recipients, encouraging both initial donations and sustained giving over time. Their work is entirely voluntary.
The Touch Root Foundation's Tribe is driven by a strong commitment to creating sustainable change in the communities they serve. We empower the people by providing access to clean drinking water, educational support, and clothing that will enable them to build a better future for themselves and their families.
