Every Child Deserves to Move, Learn, and Thrive.

We fund what works, so that children with disabilities in Nigeria can access the tools, services, and systems they need to live with dignity and boundless opportunity.

About Us

We’re a catalytic grant-making foundation focused on disability inclusion in Nigeria.

At REF, we believe every child deserves the chance to move freely, learn with dignity, and thrive in their community.

Disability is one of the most overlooked drivers of exclusion in Nigeria. An estimated 95% of children with disabilities are out of school.

We back trusted organisations improving the lives of children with disabilities.
