Did You Know?

An estimated 95% of children with disabilities in Nigeria are at risk of poverty, neglect, and abuse — not because of their disability, but because of systems that fail to include them.

Every child we reach is one less child forgotten. Your support makes the difference.

Inclusive Schools

Partnering with schools across Nigeria to ensure every child has access to quality learning tailored to their needs — with the tools, teachers, and environment to thrive.

Meet Our Founder

Orjiugo Gwueke Ajaifia

Founder & Executive Director

The inspiration behind OjayAjaifia Foundation goes back to my childhood. I had two classmates — Chilee and Chinedu — who lived with disabilities. Chilee walked with crutches and often sat alone during recess. Chinedu, affected by polio, struggled to run after his friends, always falling behind. Their school uniforms were worn and poorly fitted, and it broke my heart to see how overlooked they were.

As class prefect, I tried to help, but it never felt like enough. Over the years, I realised this wasn't just about two children — it was about thousands like them across Nigeria, forgotten and excluded.

That's why I started OjayAjaifia Foundation — to give children with disabilities the love, support, and opportunities they deserve. Because they deserve to be seen, heard, and empowered to reach for the stars. They are brilliant. And yes, they can reach for the stars.
