Royal Power
in Service
The House of Oduduwa Foundation is the philanthropic arm of His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II. Through the foundation, the Ooni channels royal resources, partnerships, and advocacy toward the empowerment of the most vulnerable members of Yoruba society and the broader African community.
Since its establishment, the foundation has supported over 20,000 widows and war victims, funded healthcare and education projects across Osun State and beyond, and convened international partnerships to address poverty, youth unemployment, and food insecurity across the continent.
The measure of a king is not in what he takes from his people, but in what he gives back.

Agriculture & Food Security
Supporting smallholder farmers with inputs, training, and market access. The foundation promotes food security as a foundation for economic independence at the community level.
