Locally Rooted, Globally Aligned
Our Story & Commitment
Addressing the root causes of irregular migration through dignity, opportunity, and rehabilitation.
Our Vision
Communities where people live in safety and dignity, with sustainable livelihoods so migration is a choice, not a necessity.
Our Mission
To stabilize vulnerable households, restore rural livelihoods, and expand opportunities for women and youth in Nigeria.
A Message from Shadrack Ogbeide
The Shadrack Ogbeide Foundation was created out of a simple conviction: no one should have to risk their life on irregular migration routes because their community has failed them.
From our base in Nigeria, we work with local partners and global allies to make that conviction real. We see villages, towns, and peri-urban settlements across Nigeria where young people can access quality education and decent work; where women can lead and earn without fear.
Families do not experience challenges in isolation. Our model brings threads of income, education, and health together.
