Empowering Our Communities, One Project at a Time
The Oke Umurhohwo Foundation (OUF) is dedicated to creating a brighter future for all through impactful programs that address various needs within our communities. Here’s a closer look at some of our key initiatives and how they align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Annual Projects:
(SDGs 2, 4, 5)
Held in February/March, this project empowers single mothers and widows through financial literacy training (SDG 4: Quality Education) and food support schemes (SDG 2: Zero Hunger). This initiative strengthens their economic independence (SDG 5: Gender Equality), allowing them to better provide for their families.

(SDGs 3, 4, 8)
Our annual football event offers a platform for young footballers (aged 18-25) to showcase their skills (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth) while receiving mentorship, coaching, and valuable exposure (SDG 4: Quality Education). This program promotes good health and well-being (SDG 3) through physical activity and fosters a sense of community.

(SDG 4)
At the start of each academic session, we provide essential school resources and academic support to children aged 6-13 (SDG 4: Quality Education). This initiative helps bridge the gap for underprivileged children, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed in school.
