TOF

Every year, young Africans defy every odd to earn places in the world’s top institutions. But even after the hard work, the long nights, the impossible grades—they hit a wall: funding.

The Okrah Foundation exists to break that barrier down. We raise funds, build networks, and provide mentorship to ensure that these students not only get in, but thrive, graduate, and return equipped to transform Africa.

The Founder’s Story

As a boy, I dreamed of flying—not with aeroplanes, but with wings, soaring through the sky. Later, I dreamed of going to Oxford, but people said it wasn’t for “people like us.” For years, I believed them.

In 2024, I proved them wrong with an offer to pursue an MSc in Law and Finance at Oxford. Had I attended, I would have been the first Ghanaian male to undertake the course.
