Who we are
Kikelomo Adisa founded Steer for Change after a near-loss of her own newborn opened her eyes to the gap in maternal care available to women without access or resources. Today, a focused team runs four programmes across Lagos and Oyo — providing direct intervention, education, and economic empowerment for the women most at risk.
We believe that no woman should lose her life while giving life, and no child should suffer due to lack of access to basic care.

One story · then the number
Asamoah Susan and her son, Asamoah Emmanuel — referred from a community outreach to Mother and Child Hospital, Nigeria.
Story-then-number is the rule we work to. Susan and Emmanuel are the story. The number — 6,000+ mothers and babies supported across Lagos and Oyo — only matters because of them, and because of every named family behind it.
Our programmes
01
Healthcare, birth kits, and prenatal education delivered directly to communities where access is limited or care is unaffordable.
02
Direct payments to facilities so no mother or child is turned away. In 2024 alone, we covered bills for 12 women and 4 children.
03
Structured recovery for malnourished children, supplementary feeding, maternal nutrition support, and our Kayplan cereal.
04
Skills training, small business grants, and mentorship that build long-term economic independence for vulnerable mothers.
