Child Advocacy with Tolulope Shodunke

Child Advocacy with Tolulope Shodunke

The conversation with the founder and CEO of Green Pasture Kids Foundation sheds light on her personal journey and the mission of the organization. Initially driven by her love for children, particularly those in less fortunate circumstances, she recounts dreams that inspired her to take action. These dreams, including one where she was a bus conductor for underprivileged children, served as the catalyst for establishing Green Pasture Kids as a calling rather than mere charity work. Over the past 17 years, the organization has been dedicated to child advocacy and providing support for vulnerable children.


Green Pasture Kids has seen both successes and challenges in its endeavors. Success stories include helping children in slum communities and hospitals, paying their bills, and offering educational and vocational training opportunities. However, despite these efforts, some children still struggle in the slums, highlighting the ongoing challenges in breaking the cycle of poverty. Nevertheless, the organization remains committed to its long-term goals and initiatives aimed at holistic development and empowerment of children aged 10 to 16.


One significant aspect of Green Pasture Kids' approach is its emphasis on community involvement and collaboration. While acknowledging some government efforts, the organization works closely with communities, earning their trust over time to implement projects effectively. Looking ahead, the founder envisions expanding initiatives such as virtual adoption, where individuals support a child's education and well-being. By creating a network of support and empowerment, Green Pasture Kids aims to enable children to fulfill their potential regardless of their background, ultimately striving to make a lasting positive impact in their lives.
