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.

Our Approach

Holistic Support
From Primary to University
Community-Centered
We provide school supplies, tuition assistance, mentorship, and help create a conducive environment for learning.
Our support spans from early childhood education through university, ensuring that children stay on track throughout their academic journey.
Starting in Ekiti State, we aim to expand across Nigeria and West Africa, helping children in the communities that need it most.
