Our Story
The Lawrence Family Foundation was born from a simple but powerful conviction: that knowledge, compassion, and action can bridge even the widest gaps in opportunity. As global leaders in clinical research, Dr. Adewale Lawrence and Mrs. Orsolya Lawrence witnessed firsthand how disparities in education, health access, and basic resources continue to hold communities back, not because of a lack of potential, but because of systemic barriers.
What began as a vision to give back has become a mission to reach forward, funding life-changing educational opportunities, investing in health equity, and uplifting underserved families in the U.S., Hungary, the U.K., and Nigeria. With each grant, each partnership, and each act of service, we strive to turn scientific insight and global experience into meaningful, local change.
This is more than charity, it’s personal. It’s legacy. It’s our way of paying forward the opportunities we were given, and ensuring that every community, no matter how overlooked, has the chance to thrive.
