SARAH AYOKA ODUWAIYE FOUNDATION
The Sarah Ayoka Oduwaiye Foundation (SAOF), a cancer charity, was established in Nigeria in 2008, with operations in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The foundation was established by Doctor Olayinka Oduwaiye in honour of his late mother, who tragically lost her battle with cancer. This personal loss inspired the creation of SAOF, with the mission of raising awareness about cancer and the importance of early detection.
We’ve travelled across Nigeria, providing free medical care regardless of race, colour, ethnicity, or religion. Our commitment to this cause comes before anything else, and we have tangible results in the lives we’ve saved
SAOF is actively engaged in advocating cancer prevention and education. We deliver this information in people’s native languages and at an easily understandable level for a powerful and lasting impact
SAOF focuses on early detection of breast cancer through targeted initiatives. Our advocacy spans diverse communities. We champion awareness to ensure timely identification and intervention.
In addition to raising cancer awareness and providing treatment, we have various programs dedicated to enhancing healthcare development in Nigeria. We consistently carry out free medical outreach in rural areas and offer primary healthcare interventions
Helping others is humanity. We can’t make it without help from people. We are thankful to them for volunteering and giving donations. We can only provide help from them. Through their unwavering dedication and hard work, our volunteers help us extend our reach to under-served communities,
