Outpour Of Fragrances Initiative
Outpour of Fragrances Initiative is a not-for-profit organization that is aimed at making life better for children, young adults and women with projects in education, welfare, decent work and economic growth.
Some of their projects are:
» Love4JAMB – They pay JAMB fees for vulnerable children and those in public schools
» Business grant for single mothers – They help single mothers start or upscale their businesses
» Beautifying his jewels (orphanage visits) – They support four orphanage homes in Ibadan

» Jackie’s hub – They supply books to schools, create book clubs and assist with their library set up.
» Back-to-school – They give educational materials such as school bags, exercise books and stationery to students of public schools.
Why She Started The Initiative
When we asked Dr Lola why she started this initiative, this is what she said: My life vision is to beautify my world with God’s fragrance. I believe I’m on earth to help people become better and grow their finances.
In 2005, I saw that several children don’t read, so I started out with Jackie’s club where book clubs are set up in schools to ensure and enhance the reading culture.
Also seeing children not catered for and orphans, led to visits and support to orphanage homes.
I am an ardent reader and advocate for learning and personal development, I started the back-to-school project to support children who couldn’t afford to get these learning materials in a bid to support education, one of the SDGs.
In order to put all I do together, the NGO was incorporated and other projects were birth.
How Her Work Is Changing Lives
Their projects have had a tremendous impact on the lives of women and children, here are some ways their work is changing lives.
» Many orphans have improved living conditions due to supplies of food, clothing, beddings, etc
» Several children now read because they have access to literary books donated to schools.
» Many students get to write JAMB and proceed with their education at the tertiary level.
» Single mothers get to have businesses to cater for their children.
