All aboutThe Gentle Push

About US

The Gentle Push Foundation was born out of a personal journey. Growing up, I experienced firsthand the challenges many children face when poverty limits their educational opportunities. Thanks to the kindness of individuals who provided me with “gentle pushes” at critical moments—whether it was paying part of my school fees, providing transportation, offering encouragement or even praying for me! —I was able to pursue my dreams. My wife and I have carried this spirit of giving forward, helping people from our own resources. But we realized there are many more people out there who need help. That’s why I founded Gentle Push Foundation, a platform for people who share our passion for giving, to join us in helping the most vulnerable.

Our Approach

Holistic Support

We provide school supplies, tuition assistance, mentorship, and help create a conducive environment for learning.

From Primary to University

Our support spans from early childhood education through university, ensuring that children stay on track throughout their academic journey.

Community-Centered

Starting in Ekiti State, we aim to expand across Nigeria and West Africa, helping children in the communities that need it most.

Impact of The Gentle Push Foundation

At Gentle Push Foundation, we believe that every life deserves a chance to reach their full potential, no matter their socio-economic background. Through targeted support and a little encouragement—a “gentle push”—we provide the resources the young people need to succeed in life – either through formal education or skill acquisition.
