Lightup Foundation is a charity organization with International remit. We simply target community projects that make a genuine difference to the lives of young people and the disadvantaged.
From His Excellency Ersin Tatar
President of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The Lightup Foundation, working with the Ministry of Youth and Development of the State of the African Diaspora (SOAD), has initiated engagement with governments and international stakeholders following reports that African youths may have been recruited into foreign military service in connection with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
The initiative calls for transparency, cooperation, and the protection of African youth while these reports continue to be reviewed. According to Minister Olasubomi Iginla Aina, MBE, safeguarding the dignity, security, and future of young Africans remains a shared responsibility among governments, institutions, and international partners.
Outreach efforts have also begun with affected families, government institutions, and youth representatives across Africa to promote awareness and encourage caution regarding recruitment offers that lack transparency or proper authorisation.
Empower and support young people and disadvantaged individuals with the necessary tools to achieve their goals in life. Lightup will lead selfless effort to connect young people and disadvantaged individuals with life changing opportunities
