Our Story, Our Mission, Our Movement

A Movement Born from Memory

The inspiration behind OjayAjaifia Foundation goes back to 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.

"Over the years, I realised this wasn't just about two children — it was about thousands like them across Nigeria, forgotten and excluded."

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.

We don't just see disability — we see potential, brilliance, creativity, and resilience. Through advocacy, inclusive programs, therapy, and hands-on support, we are building a Nigeria where children with disabilities are not just included — they are celebrated.

This is more than charity. This is a movement for dignity, equality, and love. Join us. Let's build a world where every child can rise.

The Need for Action Is Urgent

At OjayAjaifia Foundation, we are committed to uplifting children with disabilities across Nigeria by providing access to education, healthcare, therapy, and inclusive community support — because ability comes in many forms.

70% of children with disabilities never attend school (UNICEF, 2023)
95% lack access to therapy & rehabilitation (WHO, 2022)
1 in 3 families live in poverty due to disability care costs (NBS Nigeria, 2021)
