The Clementina Legal Aid Philanthropy Foundation, known as CLAP, is officially set to begin operations, bringing renewed hope to underprivileged Africans in need of justice.
In a profound act of service and remembrance, a grassroots family from Remoland, Ogun State, based in the United Kingdom, has chosen to establish the CLAP Foundation to honour the legacy of the late Mrs. Clementina Daley (nee Modupe). A respected community leader, businesswoman, and humanitarian, Mrs. Daley was widely admired for her compassion, fairness, and resilience.
CLAP’s mission is to provide free or subsidised legal aid to vulnerable Africans especially those wrongfully detained, denied fair representation, or unable to meet bail conditions due to financial hardship.
In a statement, the foundation said;
“We have all heard of the numerous cases of wrongful arrests, incompetent investigations, wrongful convictions, and delayed justice; especially when it affects the most vulnerable, less connected, and less well-off members of society across the African continent.
The Clementina Legal Aid Philanthropy (CLAP) Foundation exists to bridge the gap where government institutions fall short — whether due to inadequate funding, incompetence, corruption, geographical limitations, or poor public awareness.
Founded by the Modupe family, who are based in the United Kingdom and hail from Remoland in Ogun State, Nigeria, CLAP is a non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring justice and dignity to the less privileged.
The foundation was created in loving memory of their recently departed daughter, sister, aunty, businesswoman, and Iyaloja (Market Leader) of London’s world-renowned East Street Market.
Her life embodied compassion, fairness, and unwavering morality: values the CLAP Foundation intends to carry forward in all its cases”.
For many Africans silenced by poverty and trapped in cycles of injustice, CLAP’s launch marks the beginning of a new era of hope. The foundation expects strong support from local communities, legal practitioners, and international partners, paving the way for a sustainable movement towards justice and equality in the country.
