The Stephen Obiya Foundation was founded in 2022, born from a deep commitment to addressing the pressing challenges faced by marginalized communities across Africa. Inspired by the vision of our founder, Stephen Obiya, the foundation emerged in response to the alarming statistics of poverty and inequality on the continent. With over 400 million people struggling to meet basic needs, we recognized the urgent need for actionable change.

Our journey began with grassroots initiatives aimed at providing immediate relief and support to those affected by the dire circumstances of poverty. Early projects focused on education and healthcare, laying the groundwork for our belief that sustainable change starts with empowering individuals. Through collaboration with local leaders and community organizations, we quickly realized the transformative potential of technology and innovation.

As we expanded our efforts, we embraced a holistic approach that integrates education, skill development, and entrepreneurship. Our first major program launched in 2023, targeting youth and women, equipping them with essential skills and resources to build sustainable livelihoods. The response was overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our commitment to a community-driven model.

Over the years, we have strengthened our partnerships with local and international organizations, allowing us to scale our impact. By 2024, we reached over 500 beneficiaries, fostering economic growth and improving quality of life in underserved areas.

Our history is one of resilience, collaboration, and unwavering dedication to uplifting communities. As we look to the future, we remain focused on our mission to empower 10,000 beneficiaries by 2035, believing that with the right support and resources, every individual can rise above the challenges they face. Join us in our journey to create lasting change and build a brighter future for all.
