OUR PROGRAMMES
Opportunity changes everything.
HODI is building inclusive, community-led programmes in Ikotun, Alimosho, Lagos. Our work begins with listening and preparing to deliver responsibly.
Three pathways to opportunity
Our approved flagship is HODI RISE. Two further initiatives are in development and are not yet accepting participants or operating as services.
HODI RISE
Approved flagship
Resilience, Inclusion, Skills and Empowerment. A planned programme supporting women’s livelihoods, girls’ learning, practical skills and community participation.
HODI KICKSTART
Concept in development
A proposed free and inclusive football opportunity for children and young people excluded by academy costs. Community sport, coaching, education and wellbeing would be central.
HODI BRIGHT PATHS
Concept in development
A proposed inclusive learning and family-support programme for children with disabilities and additional learning needs, with a longer-term ambition to explore a specialist day school.
HODI RISE | Our first priority
We plan to begin in Ikotun by consulting women, families, young people, schools and local stakeholders. This will help us choose relevant activities and identify the barriers people face.
Women Rise
Market-relevant skills, basic digital and financial literacy, entrepreneurship awareness, mentoring and pathways to economic participation.
Girls Learn
Learning support, foundational literacy and numeracy, mentorship and collaboration with local schools and parents.
Delivery status: programme approved for planning. Pilot size, delivery dates, participating schools and funding have not yet been finalised.
HODI KICKSTART | Talent without financial barriers
Football can build confidence, friendships, discipline and opportunity. We are exploring a model that welcomes children into safe community sport while creating fair pathways for young people with potential.
The proposed approach includes accessible training sessions, qualified coaching, strong child protection, support for girls and links to education. Talent scouting or professional contracts would never be guaranteed.
Status: feasibility and partnership exploration. No trials, enrolment or coaching sessions have been announced.
HODI BRIGHT PATHS | Learning without exclusion
We want to explore ways to support children with disabilities and additional learning needs, alongside their families, with dignity and meaningful participation.
Potential activities include family information sessions, inclusive learning support and partnerships with qualified educators and disability organisations. Any specialist day school would require feasibility work, specialist staffing and regulatory approvals.
Status: concept in development. HODI is not currently operating a special-needs school or accepting admissions.
Let’s build responsibly, together.
We welcome dialogue with educators, community groups, disability advocates, youth coaches, charitable foundations and responsible businesses.
