Founded by Nigerian actress, singer, and philanthropist Omotola Jalade Ekeinde to inspire and empower young Nigerians by focusing on leadership, purpose, and vision. The program aims to support youth entrepreneurship, including through initiatives like those with SME100 Africa, and has gained recognition as a model for successful youth empowerment across Africa.
Empowering young voices to advocate for policy changes and community improvements that matter.
Providing essential services and support to families, especially widows and vulnerable community members.
Creating stronger communities through grassroots initiatives that build lasting positive change.
OYEP has inspired thousands of young Nigerians to take charge of
their future. With partnerships across industries, the
program has:
Supported multiple youth-led startups through empowerment grants and mentorship.
Trained hundreds in leadership and business development.
Created a growing community of purpose-driven young Africans who are shaping a brighter
tomorrow.
Our goal is to help youth identify their strengths, develop actionable goals, and contribute meaningfully to society. Through partnerships with organizations such as SME100 Africa, OYEP continues to promote youth-led businesses and empower entrepreneurs to create jobs, not just seek them.
