1. Summary
Executive summary and background
The Amazing Brain Foundation for Advocacy, Education and Development (ABFAED) is a duly registered non-governmental organisation that formally transitioned in 2026 from over a decade of community-level educational development, anchored by Amazing Brain School Ltd (operating since 2010). Established to address persistent socioeconomic barriers in low-income urban settlements, ABFAED combines grassroots operational delivery with structured institutional advocacy.
Operating primarily from our base in Ilasamaja, Mushin Local Government Area, Lagos State, ABFAED builds formal institutional frameworks with statutory authorities, including the Lagos State Office for Disability Affairs (LASODA) and the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi (NOHIL), to deliver verified humanitarian, educational and developmental support.
