Nurturing Roots and Wings Through Transformative Education
Our Journey
The Story Behind the Olukade Education Foundation
There was a time when a child from the village would be asked, “What will you be?” and the answer would come easily: what their father was, or their mother. The certainty was both comforting and confining. The Olukade Education Foundation exists because we believe every child deserves both roots and wings—a connection to who they are and the freedom to become who they might be.
Our Core Beliefs
Mission and Values of Olukade Education Foundation
Our Mission
We transform lives through education that honors both tradition and innovation. We establish scholarships and support systems that follow promising youth throughout their educational journey, not merely at isolated moments. We organize training that plants seeds of self-discovery and self-reliance. We extend particular care to the vulnerable—not as charity cases but as bearers of untapped potential. We measure our success not by how many pass through our programs but by how deeply their passage transforms both them and
their communities.
Our Values
Our organization is guided by four foundational values that shape our actions, decisions, and interactions.
These principles reflect our commitment to fostering dignity, transformative learning, community wisdom, and practical hope in all we do. Each value is not just a concept but a lived experience, demonstrated through stories that illustrate their impact on individuals and communities. Together, they form the backbone of our mission to create meaningful change and empower those we serve.
