A statement released on Wednesday on her appointment said she brings to the philanthropy a wealth of experience in leadership, strategic development and community engagement.
Olusola’s commitment to excellence and passion for transformative change, it said, aligns perfectly with Save the Children’s core values and objectives.
It also said her extensive expertise and deep insights will be invaluable as the organisation continues its mission to create a sustainable impact for children across the continent.
Commenting on the appointment, Olusola said, “I am honoured to join Save the Children United Kingdom’s Africa Advisory Board.
“Africa’s child population will reach 1 billion by 2055, according to UNICEF, making it the largest child population among all continents. Hence, investing in our children is not just a moral imperative but a strategic one for our future.
“Giving African children an equal opportunity to thrive will be a game changer for development in our continent. I believe that every child deserves early access to health services, education, and safe water, as well as other goods and services that can maximise a child’s opportunities as an adult and end the cycle of poverty. We have an important task on our hands, and I look forward to working alongside such a dedicated team to drive sustainable and impactful change for our children.”
Save the Children is the world’s leading independent organisation for children, dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. With a presence in over 100 countries, Save the Children works to provide access to quality education, healthcare, protection from harm, and emergency response services.
