Our History

Where We Began

Our journey to transform children's lives

2022 - Initial Operations

Sonja Bertram's Children Foundation began its initial operations in 2022. In collaboration with Umar Hussaini, a Nigerian educator and philanthropist, Sonja Bertram - a passionate advocate for children's rights and education - established the organization with a clear vision: to create a world where every child has access to quality education and is empowered to become a self-reliant and responsible citizen.

2024 - Official Registration

In 2024, the organization was registered by the Nigerian government as a nonprofit organization, and duly registered in accordance with the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, by the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering (SCUML).

Ongoing - Community Impact

From inception, the foundation has touched the lives of many children who have never been to school and those forced out of school by poverty and insurgency. We have donated textbooks, stationery for children of different grades, and instructional materials for teachers in about five communities and IDPs in Nasarawa State and the FCT.
