— Our Mission
SOOF is dedicated to improving the living conditions of individuals and families across Nigeria through increased access to healthcare, education, wealth creation and economic sustainability.
Who We Are
The foundation was established in 2007 and officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, Nigeria in 2015 to address the growing challenges in Nigeria, and Edo State. Although significant success has been achieved in some areas, such as reducing communicable disease, the people of Nigeria are still faced with a number of devastating challenges, from insufficient access to clean water and sanitation facilities, to inadequate access to healthcare and medications, to a lack of formal education and literacy development. Our focus areas address these challenges as well as the potential for long-term positive improvements that result in better lives for the people of Edo State. This includes the following assumptions and intentions:
- To set Edo State as a model for replication for other small and larger scale economic and social impact initiatives. This model will address and mitigate poverty through a series of effective strategies and expectations.
- Societal assessments to identify strengths, weaknesses, challenges and untapped opportunities around Edo State, prioritizing pressing problems in need of immediate solutions as well as long-term development strategic plans.
- Address ongoing and systemic health crises, in addition to Covid, to ensure not only a healthy society but also to reduce the cost burden of caring for chronically ill individuals suffering from communicable and non-communicable disease, primarily HIV/AIDS.
- Opportunities and education targeted to the youth of Nigeria, which consists of 60% of the community under the age of 30.
- Development and engagement of Nigerian-led organizations and businesses to expand the potential to mitigate identified challenges and to create economic opportunities.
