In November 2025, we visited the Diamond Centre for Children Living with Disabilities Orphanage Home for the first time. By the end of that first conversation, we knew this was an organisation we wanted to walk alongside.

What we heard was both heartbreaking and clarifying. Children with special needs, many of whom need to be carried by their caregivers, were relying entirely on private car hire to get to school and to hospital and physiotherapy appointments, because taking public transport simply wasn’t an option. This is an organisation that runs entirely on unstructured informal donations and the goodwill of external supporters with no predictable funding. And a significant portion of those already stretched resources was going straight to transportation costs. Then there was the moment that opened our eyes to just how critical this need was: a child who lost their life because, in a critical moment, there was no vehicle available to get them to the hospital in time.

That conversation shaped what our first grant would be.

On the 13th of April 2026, we delivered a brand new Toyota Hiace bus to the Diamond Centre for Children living with Disabilities orphanage home, officially marking the launch of the Roseline Emenike Foundation’s Year 1 grant cycle. This means the children can get to school and to their appointments without transportation costs straining the organisation’s already limited resources, and reach a hospital quickly when every minute counts.

This is what we mean when we talk about strengthening the organisations that support children with disabilities. We believe that every child, regardless of ability, deserves access to the things that make a full life possible, from education, to healthcare and safety. And we are committed to ensuring that the organisations quietly doing that work receive meaningful support to do it well.
