Our story

How Olaskoko began

The idea for Olaskoko's Foundation was born in 2023, during a Christmas season that reminded me of childhood.

Growing up, I watched my mother embody the spirit of giving, knocking on doors and surprising family, friends and neighbors with Christmas gifts every single year. That memory left a deep mark on me. While in Nigeria in 2023, I felt inspired to recreate that joy by starting “Christmas With A Smile”, an initiative dedicated to putting smiles on people's faces during the festive season.

Christmas has and will always be a big deal for me, and this initiative became the spark that grew into Olaskokos Foundation.

My passion for service has also taken me beyond my homeland. While studying in Ukraine, I volunteered with Angels of Hope alongside a close friend, bringing comfort and support to those in need. Later, in New York, I had the privilege of serving underserved communities in the Bronx. These experiences deepened my commitment to community service and showed me how powerful simple acts of kindness can be.

As a medical doctor, I understand the importance of health, and this has shaped the foundation's mission as well. We have carried out medical outreaches to support underserved communities, ensuring that people not only receive food and gifts but also have access to healthcare.

I am truly excited about the future of Olaskokos Foundation. With big plans ahead, our vision is to create a community where families regardless of background or circumstances have the opportunity to healthcare, education, food and basic amenities. I look forward to expanding our impact, reaching more communities and continuing to bring hope, joy and relief to people, one smile at a time.

Our mission
To promote the health and welfare of mothers, children, and vulnerable families by providing access to healthcare, food, clothing, education, and essential support services.
