About Us
The Audrey Allen Foundation for Children (AAFC) is a child-focused charitable initiative founded by Tosin Allen, dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged children through education, child welfare, entertainment, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.
The foundation believes that entertainment is more than a source of enjoyment; it is a powerful tool for education, social transformation, fundraising, and positive change. By bringing together the creative industry, corporate organizations, philanthropists, and development partners, the foundation seeks to create opportunities that improve children's lives and inspire a better future.
Through creative storytelling, educational initiatives, entertainment productions, and charitable partnerships, the foundation aims to address issues affecting children while mobilizing the resources needed to support meaningful social development projects.
Our Vision
A world where every child is protected, educated, empowered, and given an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Our Mission
To improve the lives of vulnerable children by combining charitable initiatives, education, entertainment, and strategic partnerships to raise awareness, mobilize resources, promote child protection, and create sustainable opportunities for children and young people.
What We Do
Core Areas of Focus
The foundation works across six core areas, using entertainment as a central engine for awareness, fundraising and change.
Entertainment for Social Impact
Entertainment is a central pillar of the Audrey Allen Foundation for Children. We seek to harness the influence of film, television, music, literature, digital media, and celebrity culture to promote children's welfare and generate support for social development. Our entertainment initiatives may include:

Developing and supporting films, television series, and other productions that address child welfare, education, bullying, abuse, teenage challenges, family relationships, and youth development.
Charitable Film Screenings
Organizing screenings and special entertainment events to raise funds for children's causes.
Celebrity and Artist Partnerships
Collaborating with actors, musicians, filmmakers, influencers, and other public figures to amplify children's issues and encourage charitable giving.
Music and Live Entertainment
Organizing concerts, benefit performances, comedy shows, and cultural events to generate resources for child-focused programs.
