WHO WE ARE
OUR STORY
The Olumide Emmanuel Foundation (OEF) was established out of a deep passion to see poverty eradicated in the lives of individuals, families, and nations. Officially founded on January 5, 2010, the foundation was formally inaugurated on May 22, 2010.
Dr. Olumide Emmanuel firmly believes in the possibility of eradicating poverty globally. While this may seem ambitious, he holds that with determination and strategic action, no goal is beyond reach. The foundation’s journey began with an economic empowerment initiative in collaboration with the Dwarf Association of Nigeria (also known as Little People of Nigeria), in the Oshodi and Bariga areas of Lagos.
Since then, our reach has grown significantly, yet our mission remains clear: eradicating poverty and establishing a positive legacy.
