“If I sweep the front of my house clean and my neighbours on my right and left do the same thing, then everyone on the street does the same thing, the whole town will be clean”.

The Kehinde Sofola Foundation
The late Kehinde Sofola, SAN, CON was well known for his philanthropic nature and provided not only for his family but for various individuals and organizations that presented a worthy case.
Following the passing away of Late Kehinde Sofola, SAN, CON, the Kehinde Sofola Foundation (KSF) was established to continue support the activities close to the patriarch’s heart such as education, religion and the rule of law.
Since its establishment, KSF has undertaken a number of charitable activities including the building of an air-conditioned Multi-Purpose Hall, which was donated to the Sheikh Adam Al-Ilory School, Agege, Lagos - NIGERIA.
In the coming years, the Foundation will continue to provide support towards education in Nigeria, in the legal profession, in Ikenne-Remo and in the Muslim community.
Faith at Work
In line with the tenants of his Muslim faith, KSF continue to promote Islam.
Scholarship Fund
Empowering the next generation through Education
Due to lack of resources, many talented and motivated students do not have access to quality further education. The KSF Scholarship Fund will provide financial support for deserving students and orphans. Particular emphasis will be placed on those pursuing law related programmes and students from Ikenne-Remo and Ogun state.
Legal Aid
Mr Kehinde Sofola SAN, CON celebrated a legal career spanning over five decades before he passed on in 2007. He was an intellectual giant in legal practice, an extraordinary solicitor, a distinguished barrister, a lover of the law, a friend of the Court, and a champion of the underdog. KSF continues to support the legal profession in Nigeria and beyond.
Support for Communities
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond schools to support the decent jobs and livelihoods in local communities. A special focus is placed on Ikenne-Remo, the hometown of late Kehinde Sofola SAN CON.
