Who We Are
OED Foundation was born from a simple but powerful truth: that every human being deserves the chance to live with hope and opportunity. Founded by Olusegun Enitan Dada, our work focuses on three things that change everything: Food, Education, and Youth Empowerment. We serve communities across Africa, reaching those who have been overlooked or forgotten, and helping them rise again with strength and dignity.
Our belief is simple: when one life is lifted, an entire community rises.

Purpose
Building a legacy of empowerment by providing access to basic food, education, and opportunity for growing teenagers.
A Message From the Founders
The OED Foundation was born from a shared purpose to turn compassion into action. From our experiences growing up in Nigeria, we’ve seen both resilience and struggle, and we believe that no one should be held back by hunger, lack of education, or unemployment. Together, we are building a movement that feeds, educates, and empowers, creating opportunities for people to live with dignity, dream with courage, and rise with pride.
