We are a charity organisation based in Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa with a drive to protect the orphan child and female victims of violence in our society, particularly the girl child. We also promote Arts and Culture amongst the youth with the collaboration of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Abuja, Nigeria.
Our journey began many years ago in the mind of the founder but was eventually birthed in 2002 in London. In 2015, the Foundation was officially launched in Lagos, Nigeria and since then we have effectively been consistent with furthering our above causes. Our achievements so far could not have been possible without the immense support of our Sponsors, Volunteers and Partners. We invite you to come on board this journey with us and support the OIF cause(s). Welcome on board!
The idea is to provide a settlement, like a home, for orphans and victims of domestic violence, especially underaged abused girls. Within the OIF Village, we would have structures such as the “OIF Residence” which will house the children/orphans. We also have the Rehabilitation Centre for girls rescued from child trafficking or the sex trade industry, called the “Grace Isedeh Centre”, GIC, named after my mother. Apparently, child trafficking is a major problem in Nigeria, in particular Edo and Delta States. I understand that some states are ill equipped for these eventualities and little provisions are made for the rehabilitation of these girls when rescued.
BECOME ONE OF OUR SPONSORS
OIF’s most powerful resource is its people. Our volunteers work tirelessly day after day with limited resources. Often times, they reach into their own pockets to ensure that the work is done. Unfortunately, however, they cannot do it alone. They need you. OIF needs you. We, the kids of the OIF need you.
