About Ovie Brume Foundation

The Ovie Brume Foundation was established in 2003 with a vision for a society where everyone is educated and empowered. The Foundation provides free educational, social and recreational programmes and activities for under-served children from low income homes. We seek to support our beneficiaries in the attainment of their educational goals, equip them with critical skills and knowledge and provide them with enrichment and development opportunities that they would otherwise not have access to. Our ultimate goal is to help the young people maximise their potential and grow up to be valuable members of society who can contribute to the development of their communities.

The Ovie Brume Foundation seeks to create positive and safe environments, where young people can access a wide range of educational, social and recreational programmes and activities, meet appropriate role models, and obtain support and counselling at no cost to them.
