Vivian Osunkoya Shodipo (VOS) Foundation

Who we are

Vivian Osunkoya Shodipo (VOS) Foundation is a registered UK charity committed to improving educational opportunity for young people in parts of Nigeria. We provide educational supplies, programmes and activities that build capability, confidence and leadership so that young people can realise their full potential and participate positively as citizens.

Our culture and values

The foundation explicitly have three main core values:

• Transparency – Operating openly and honestly in how funds are used and how programmes are delivered.
• Integrity – Acting ethically and responsibly in all decisions and partnerships.
• Educational Excellence – Striving to provide high-quality educational opportunities and resources for young people.

These values guide the organisation’s work to connect donors and supporters with young people who need educational support.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The foundation promotes a culture where everyone is treated fairly regardless of background or identity. This means volunteering opportunities are based on merit, ability, and commitment rather than personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, religion, or social background.

The organisation’s leadership emphasises transparency, integrity, and educational excellence as core values guiding all activities. These values shape how the organisation manages relationships with volunteers, and communities, reinforcing fairness and ethical conduct.
