Become A Permanent Guardian Our Guardianship Program Our Guardianship Program Our Guardianship Program Our Guardianship Program We carefully curated a program to ensure the best quality potential guardians for our children Permanent Guardianship Program ÀBÒ Village is not your average orphanage — and that’s why our name reflects something different. Our philosophy is simple yet profound: every child who joins us is already home. They are not waiting to be “chosen” or taken away, but rather to be nurtured, supported, and loved within a secure community. Our Permanent Guardianship Program is a thoughtful and deeply intentional process designed with the well-being of each child at its core. Prospective guardians begin with a required 1.5-month volunteer period within the ÀBÒ Village Children’s Homes. During this time, our team observes and gently evaluates the natural connection between the guardian and the child of their heart’s choice — without informing the child, to protect them from potential disappointment or emotional harm. When a genuine bond is evident, our house guardian will then speak privately with the child to learn how they feel about the potential guardian. This careful, heart-centered approach ensures that any placement made is truly in the child’s best interest. Should a child be adopted, the guardian enters into a commitment that includes regular check-ins with our youth counselors and maintains the child’s right to return home if their emotional or physical well-being is ever at risk. At ÀBÒ Village, love means lifelong care — and every child will always have a home to come back to. What makes ABO different? Our Childcare Method 1 At ÀBÒ Village, every child grows within a home, not an institution. Our family-style model ensures that children are surrounded by warmth, stability, and personal attention from trained caregivers who become trusted guardians, mentors, and role models. Our Guardianship Process 2 We take pride in a thoughtful guardianship process that prioritizes the child’s long-term well-being over quick placements. Only after dedicated volunteer service and evaluation can a guardian be approved, ensuring every transition is guided by love, trust, and readiness. Our Community Inclusion 3 ÀBÒ Village is being built with the community, not apart from it. Local families, artisans, and volunteers take part in construction, farming, and mentorship, so the village’s growth uplifts everyone—creating a shared sense of pride and purpose. Our unique Educational Approach 4 We believe education goes beyond classrooms. Our approach combines traditional learning with art, farming, digital literacy, and cultural education—nurturing children’s creativity, confidence, and connection to their roots.

About ÀBO Village Child- centered , Family-based care community What is Abo Village? Abo Village is a child-centred, family-based care community providing long-term safety, stability, and growth for children without parental guardians. We are building a sustainable village of clay-structured dome homes and shared community spaces, where children will live in family-style settings, supported by trained caregivers. ÀBÒ Village also offers education through our on-site school, creative development through art and music studios, digital literacy through our computer lab, and holistic growth through community gardens, play areas, and mentorship programs. Our team is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can heal, learn, and belong. We strive to redefine care for vulnerable children in Nigeria, offering a permanent, guardian-led village where love, education, and opportunity replace the uncertainty of institutional and non-recreational care. Every child at Àbọ̀ Village has a place to grow, thrive, and call home. When we begin. Our journey is already taking root. As of August 2025, the groundwork for ÀBÒ Village has begun — with plans, partnerships, and preparations moving into motion. We will launch our first crowdfunding campaign on November 22nd, 2025, inviting our global community to help lay the foundation for this vision. Our goal is to break ground in 2026 and to see ÀBÒ Village come to life and begin welcoming children by the end of that same year. There is much to build and many spaces to shape, but every step forward brings us closer to the moment when love, care, and opportunity will fill our village walls. Where Are We? ÀBÒ Village will be located in Emure, Ekiti, Nigeria, surrounded by a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant local community. While the village will be rooted in Emure, our outreach will extend across Nigeria to find and support children who need a home, guidance, and a future filled with possibility. As a long term goal of ours, this village is only the start of our mission which is to expand and grow to reach all parts of the world. Who Are We? ÀBÒ Village is a child-centered, family-based community dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for children in need of care and belonging. We are a team of passionate caregivers, educators, councellers and community builders who believe every child deserves love, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.

Meet the Founder Doyin Onile Doyin Onile is a singer-songwriter, visual artist, author, and world traveler with a heart rooted in creativity, compassion, and community. Growing up as the youngest of five in a home where her mother’s open-door policy welcomed anyone in need of food, comfort, or care, Doyin learned early what it meant to live a life of service and love. Surrounded by children and laughter, her home became her first classroom in empathy and shared responsibility. At just 13, after her aunt’s passing, Doyin helped raise her young cousin for a year while her mother worked full time an experience that planted the seed for her lifelong devotion to children’s well-being. After leaving behind a 15-year career in fashion modelling and wardrobe styling at age 27, Doyin set out to explore the world and rediscover purpose. Her travels led her to create children’s and community spaces across Latin America from volunteering and painting with children in Colombia, to founding the Puerto Viejo Kidz Klub in Costa Rica, a free community program that ran for two years and brought learning, play, and creative expression to local children. She also offered one-on-one Vocal Expression Therapy sessions and organized a free town fair for kids, continuing to make art and joy her bridge to connection. The dream of building a home for children without families began when Doyin was around 10 years old, after realizing that not every child grows up surrounded by love. Inspired by her favorite film, Annie, she promised herself that one day, she would create a home where every child could feel seen, safe, and loved. In early 2024, after the heartbreaking loss of her sister, Doyin found herself searching deeply for meaning and direction. During a moment of prayer and reflection, she wrote a list of her passions and dreams — and as always, “orphanage” appeared at the top. But this time, something felt different. It was the only word that made her smile through the grief and filled her with purpose. She knew instantly: the time was now. From that moment, ÀBÒ Village was born — a vision of home, healing, and hope for children in Nigeria, built with love, creativity, and community at its heart.

Permanent Guardianship Is Permanent Guardianship the same as adopting? The short answer is yes — but our process is far more intentional. At ÀBÒ Village, we take great pride in the quality of care we provide for our children. A child only leaves our care if we truly believe they will have better opportunities or a higher quality of life with one of our permanent guardians after their volunteer stay. Even after placement, our children are never left entirely in the hands of guardians; we maintain regular check-ins and scheduled calls as time progresses to ensure their well-being. Because we never want a situation to result in the “return of a child,” we have counselors who support both the child and the guardians throughout the transition. While returning is always our last resort, our version of the adoption agreement clearly states that if at any point a child wishes to return home (ÀBÒ Village), or if their care, mental health, or overall well-being is found to be below our standards, the process of their return will begin immediately. What if I can't volunteer? Unfortunately, permanent guardianship cannot be granted immediately. At ÀBÒ Village, permanent guardianship is only considered after a volunteer period and a thorough evaluation. This process is vital to ensuring that every child is placed in a truly nurturing and stable environment. We take it seriously — and believe that if becoming a guardian is truly important to someone, they will make the time to be part of the process.
