Core offering

Yagazie Foundation is a charity organization and NGO that delivers humanitarian programs using sports and education as vehicles to provide quality healthcare, food assistance, peace promotion, and socio-cultural empowerment to orphans, vulnerable children, widows, prison inmates, and underserved communities in Nigeria and across Africa. Services include sports-based peace campaigns, medical outreach, food distribution, education support, prison visitation programs, and empowerment initiatives for widows, funded primarily through donations and corporate sponsorships.

Product overview

Yagazie Foundation is a charity organization that operates as a unified humanitarian service rather than a technology platform. The foundation offers an integrated portfolio of community programs centered on using sports and education as vehicles to deliver quality healthcare, food assistance, peace promotion, and socio-cultural empowerment to underserved communities, orphans, vulnerable children (OVC), and widows across Africa. The core programs include Sports Programs (football coaching, youth training), Healthcare Services (medical outreach), Education Programs (teaching, literacy/numeracy support), Food Distribution, Prison Support Programs, and Peace Campaign initiatives—all coordinated through a dedicated team of volunteers and staff working from offices in Lagos, Abuja, and Owerri.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Plan International Nigeria: International child-rights NGO with Nigerian operations delivering education, health, and protection programs to children (including OVC) — comparable beneficiary focus and service mix, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• ActionAid Nigeria: Established large-scale international NGO with a Nigeria country office. Operates across women's rights, education, food security, and emergency relief — overlapping with Yagazie's program mix, but at materially greater scale and institutional backing.
• Tony Elumelu Foundation: Major pan-African philanthropy that funds entrepreneurship, education, and community programs across Africa. Comparable in that it channels resources to underserved Africans, but operates primarily as a grantmaker/funder rather than direct service provider like Yagazie.

Regional players

• Sightsavers Nigeria: International health-focused NGO with active operations in Nigeria delivering community health outreach to underserved populations. While not education/sports-focused, its field-delivery model and community-health methodology in Nigerian states are directly comparable to Yagazie's healthcare outreach arms.

Direct peers

• SOS Children's Villages Nigeria: International NGO with Nigerian operations focused on Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) — Yagazie's primary stated beneficiary segment. Both organizations deliver education, healthcare, and socio-economic empowerment to similar populations in Nigeria.
• Slum2School Africa: Nigeria-based nonprofit that delivers education, healthcare, and social support programs to children in slums and underserved communities — a near-identical target population (OVC) and program mix to Yagazie's education and health outreach arms.
• LEAP Africa: Nigeria/Africa-based nonprofit that runs youth leadership, sports-for-development, and community empowerment programs. Like Yagazie, it uses sports and education as vehicles for youth development and operates across multiple African geographies.
• Lagos Food Bank Initiative: Nigeria-based nonprofit focused on food distribution and hunger relief in underserved Lagos communities. Yagazie's documented joint food drives in Ajegunle, Ejigbo, and Araromi Valley are executed in partnership with this organization, making their mission and target geography nearly identical.
• Reach Out Nigeria Foundation: Nigerian nonprofit delivering humanitarian aid, healthcare, food, and education to vulnerable groups. Operates with similar small-team, donation-based structure and overlapping multi-sector service portfolio.

Emerging players

• W Initiative (WIMBIZ): Nigeria-based nonprofit focused on women's empowerment and widow-support programming. Overlaps with Yagazie's widows-empowerment work and gender-focused outreach, though W Initiative is more focused on professional/business empowerment.
