Our Story

The David Amapakaye Okumgba Foundation draws it's vision, mission, motivation and inspiration from the legacy of Chief David Amapakaye Okumgba.

In keeping with this enduring legacy this foundation has been founded, with the hope and conviction that, with God's help we shall share God's love to all people within our scope of operations.

Insight

The foundation began its journey in a small rural community, where the founders identified a dire need for basic services and support in the host community of Ogoloma, in WALGA, Rivers State, Nigeria. Initially focusing on medical outreach as an introductory program, the foundation will also provide scholarships, school supplies, and youth rehabilitation programs. After the first outreach, the scope of the foundation's activities expanded to include economic empowerment programs, environmental projects, and social welfare services.
