About the Initiative

The #PayWhatYouCan Masterclass Academy is an empowering learning and fundraising initiative by The Shola Adefolalu Gaska Foundation (TSAGF) — also known as The Sholly Smile Factory.

Our goal is simple yet profound: To make personal growth and transformation accessible to all — while raising vital support for women and children rebuilding their lives at The Sholly Serenity Place (TSSP), our safe haven for survivors of domestic abuse.

Every quarter in 2026, we plan to host expert-led online masterclasses across areas like finance, leadership, communication, service, wellness, and purpose. Participants "pay what they can" — and every naira raised goes directly toward the operations of TSSP.

It's a win-win: You learn. You grow. You help others heal.

All registered participants will receive a recording of the masterclass after the live session, so you can watch it at your convenience.

Can I register for multiple masterclasses? +
