ABOUT

The Nassini Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 charity organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering of underprivileged children and women in West Africa. Established in 2024, the Nassini Foundation is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mr. Tchaisso Gado Nassini, a compassionate individual whose passion for helping others knew no bounds.

Following his passing on January 9th, 2023, the foundation was born out of a deep-seated commitment to fulfill Mr. Nassini’slifelong aspiration of serving society and bringing joy to people’s hearts.

Under the passionate leadership of Mia Nassini, our Executive Director, the Nassini Foundation has tirelessly worked to improve the lives of Togolese communities. Mia’s personal dedication and sponsorship of various initiatives have positively impacted over 200 individuals and counting. While the foundation has made significant investments, the pressing needs of Togolese communities far exceed our current resources. Therefore, we actively pursue grant opportunities to expand our reach and effect positive change on a larger scale.
