Uplifting & Empowering communities
The OKANS Foundation was founded in 2019 by Miss Dumebi Chienye-Okeke, a dedicated lawyer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, alongside Dr. Udoka Okeke, a compassionate nurse and philanthropist.
Following the heartbreaking loss of Dumebi's father and Dr. Udoka's husband, they channeled their grief into a powerful movement for change. Their shared commitment to making a positive impact led to the establishment of the OKANS Foundation, with a vision to uplift and empower underprivileged communities, particularly in Nigeria.
