Our major assignment is creating projects, platforms, and resources to serve women and girls across Africa and in foreign immigrant and refugee communities.
Educational projects in alignment with our objective of improved education for women and girls in Africa and foreign immigrant and refugee communities. Also, in line with our vision of contributing to the improvement of health and reduction of inequalities, we create water and sanitation projects across marginalized and under-priviledged communities.

Organised in Obajana, Kogi State, Nigeria in 2010, Build Up the Nation Seminar was targeted at deconstructing the old mindset inculcated in women about limiting themselves to being wives and mothers, and reconstructing the new and right mindset which encourages them to have dreams beyond being martially bound and pursue those dreams. As we all know, when you build up the woman, you build up a nation. Women are multipliers by nature. Old fact but remains ever valid.
The project brought together one hundred and twenty-three (123) female locals of the community in attendance at the small hall used to host the event. Questions were asked and concerns were raised. One of such was the concern about having big entrepreneurial dreams and chasing it without breaking their homes.
At the end of the seminar, many women felt satisfied with the responses while some sort further personal counsel.
Life Touchers International organised a free vocational training in Baking of Cakes and Pastries in Obajana, Kogi State, in 2010. It was targeted at women and young female adolescents but not limited to them, and aimed at empowering the females in the community for those interested in starting a business with such skills. The training saw the gathering of one hundred and twenty (120) people, most of which were women, to equip themselves with the skill.
Founder of Life Touchers International, Dr. Bola Oyelakin Ogungbadejo, published a booklet in 2010 titled LEADERSHIP AND MORAL EDUCATION FOR YOUTHS AND ADOLESCENTS. A leadership seminar for adolescents was held afterwards in Obajana, Kogi State, where several copies of the little book was distributed to each of them at no cost in order for them to add to the wealth of knowledge gained on the subject.
Life Touchers International is known for working with global goals and targets because they encompass the basic needs of all human-occupied geographical regions of the world.
In 2010, recognising how close the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals was, Dr. Bola Oyelakin, on behalf of Life Touchers, held MDG sensitization programmes, and jingles aimed at publicity of the MDGs via Radio Kogi broadcast media in Kogi State.
Life Touchers International identified the need for an additional water system and proper sanitation for the Obajana Community in Kogi State in 2010. Most of the people who cluster around central water taps haggling for water are women and children; thus, providing an additional central water system for Obajana meant a little step in easing the struggle for the women and children in that community.
Life Touchers International constructed a manual hand pump borehole which was, then, commissioned by the local authorities of Obajana. Ten sign posts with the inscription, Keep Obajana Clean, were also constructed and fixed at strategic locations, plus distribution of public waste baskets.
The project was well received and appreciated by the local authorities despite the inadequacy of resources which could have aided more.
