Building a Future Where Everyone Can Thrive

Our Story

Born from a personal journey of strength and opportunity, TESAR extends that same hope to women and children through education and mentorship.

We believe every woman and child deserves the tools to build a brighter future.

The Esther Arokun Foundation (TESAR) is a non-profit organization committed to transforming lives by empowering women and children with the tools, skills, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Our journey began in March 2025, when we first launched as ROLWF (Rivers of Living Water Foundation), a small initiative focused on providing financial and educational support to children in underserved communities. From our very first outreach, we saw the profound impact that even small acts of care could have such as helping a child return to school, supporting a mother in need, and inspiring hope within local communities.

As our work grew, we rebranded to doing business as TESAR Foundation, an acronym representing our commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change. This reflects both our expansion in scope and our desire to build a recognizable platform for advocacy, mentorship, computer literacy, technology use awareness and community empowerment. Today, TESAR continues that mission on a larger scale, combining trainings, education, mentorship, and sustainable development initiatives to create a world where every woman can lead and every child has a strong foundation to dream and achieve.

We believe that lasting change happens when communities are supported holistically. By creating safe spaces, providing access to education, mentorship programs, and economic empowerment initiatives, initiatives that advance the use of data and technology, we are building a future where women and children can rise above limitations and contribute meaningfully to society.

Our work is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

Through these commitments, we strive not only to transform individual lives but also to help communities flourish.

At TESAR Foundation, we believe that small steps, genuine care, and shared opportunities can create a ripple effect such as lifting lives, strengthening families, and shaping a brighter future for everyone we serve.

Our Vision

To break barriers and open opportunities for women and children by driving empowerment, education, and equality, so they can thrive, lead, and transform their communities for generations to come.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower women and children through education, mentorship, and skills development, fostering dignity, independence, and leadership while advancing gender equality and sustainable growth.

Our Founder's Story

The Esther Arokun Foundation (TESAR) was born out of my journey and my desire to give back. I have been blessed to achieve success as a lawyer, graduating as the best student of the Faculty of Law at Adekunle Ajasin University, being called to the Nigerian Bar with honors, and later earning a Master of Laws (LL.M.) with Highest Honors at Seattle University School of Law in the United States. Today, I am licensed to practice law in both Nigeria and the U.S., but beyond these milestones, I carry a deeper passion: to create opportunities for women and children to thrive.

I believe that when women are empowered, families are strengthened, and when children are given a solid foundation, communities flourish. My own story is one of resilience and opportunity, and through TESAR, I want to extend that same possibility to others, providing education, mentorship, and safe spaces where women and children can rise above limitations, pursue their dreams, and transform their futures.
