About Us
Donald & Oduko Charity Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing access to quality education, safe learning environments, and youth development opportunities for children and young people from underserved communities. Guided by a strong belief in education as a catalyst for social mobility and community resilience, the Foundation delivers school support, skills training, mentorship, and community-based interventions. Its work is grounded in empathy, sustainability, and a long-term commitment to inclusive development. Additionally, the leadership and guidance of Dr David Ogbueli and his continuous teachings on the essence of life and kingdom values are pivotal in what we do, so we are determined to ensure we implement what we have learnt from him over the years.
Why We Exist
Too many children across Nigeria and Africa are denied education, safety, and opportunity—not because of lack of potential, but because of poverty and unequal access. We believe this is not acceptable because it prevents the growth of any society.
Our organization was created to change that reality. We believe that when children are educated, protected, and guided, entire communities are transformed and positioned to succeed. By supporting learning, developing practical skills, mentoring young people, and improving community infrastructure, we aim to help families and communities build sustainable futures rooted in dignity and hope.

Theory of Change / Impact Framework
We believe that if children are given access to education, skills, mentorship, and safe environments, and if communities are supported with basic infrastructure and financial knowledge, then children can stay in school, discover their talents, and grow into confident, capable adults. This will ultimately lead to building stronger families, resilient communities, and long-term social and economic development across Nigeria and Africa.
Core Program Pillars
Our work is built on five key pillars designed to create lasting impact.
