Our Mission

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 channelled 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. Through their combined expertise and unwavering dedication, Dumebi and Dr. Udoka are leading the charge in providing educational opportunities, financial support, and empowerment initiatives to those in need. Their inspiring leadership and compassionate spirit continue to drive the OKANS Foundation forward, touching countless lives and creating lasting change.

​

Operating in both the United Kingdom and Nigeria, the OKANS Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting less privileged families and providing essential educational resources for children in need. With a mission to empower underprivileged communities, the Foundation strives to ensure that every child has access to quality education and the opportunity to thrive. Through various initiatives and programs, they work tirelessly to bridge the educational gap and create a brighter future for the next generation.

​

The OKANS Foundation is committed to breaking down barriers to education in Nigeria by paying children's school fees and providing educational scholarships to deserving students. These initiatives aim to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder a child's access to learning. Additionally, the Foundation empowers widows in Nigeria to become self-sufficient through startup businesses. By offering training, mentorship, and financial assistance, they enable widows to generate income and support their families, fostering economic independence and resilience within their communities. The OKANS Foundation's holistic approach to education and empowerment is making a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals and families across Nigeria.
