About Us
The Gentle Push Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization was inspired by the personal journey of our founder, Dr. Abiodun Olalere, who knows firsthand the challenges that poverty imposes on children with dreams and potential. Growing up, he experienced how financial hardships could limit opportunities, especially in education.
However, at pivotal moments, the kindness of others made all the difference. Whether it was someone contributing to his school fees, providing accommodation, offering words of encouragement, or even praying for him, these “gentle pushes” became stepping stones that empowered him to pursue his dreams.
