ABOUT OVOH INITIATIVE
Ovoh Initiative was officially founded on August 10, 2020, by Engr. Ovoh Efemena Kennedy, a passionate and visionary young Nigerian. As a Mechanical Engineer and proud graduate of the prestigious Delta State University, Abraka, Engr. Ovoh combined his technical background with a strong sense of social responsibility to create an organization that would drive positive change across Africa.
The initiative was born out of a deep conviction that financial literacy and discipline are essential tools for personal growth and societal progress. With this conviction, Ovoh Initiative set out on a clear mission: to inspire and empower young, dynamic Africans to embrace a strong saving culture. Its guiding principles emphasize the importance of frugality, the habit of consistent saving, and the wisdom of diversifying income sources—skills and values that are crucial for building financial independence and long-term stability in an ever-changing global economy.
Since its inception, the Initiative has grown steadily and remarkably, expanding its reach far beyond its humble beginnings. Today, it has successfully established a presence across all regions of Nigeria, touching the lives of individuals and communities through awareness campaigns, mentorship programs, and financial empowerment projects. Looking forward, Ovoh Initiative envisions a much larger impact—extending its influence across the African continent, where millions of young people can benefit from a culture of financial discipline, innovation, and resilience. Through this expansion, the Initiative aspires to play a pivotal role in shaping a generation that is not only financially responsible but also capable of leading Africa into a brighter, more sustainable future.
