View Connecticut News 12 report on OBey Youth Care initiative!
For more than 10
years now, OBey Foundation has been instrumental in providing for
the needs of the children and families of a small coastal community
known as Brenu Akyinim (or Brenu Village) where
the
foundation has established a chapter as an NGO (Non-Governmental
Organization) and has set up its headquarters.
Following a recent assessment of the immediate needs of the village, and in particular those of the significant number of orphaned children within its population, OBey Foundation launched a major fundraising campaign to support its long-term commitment to building a better future for this community.
All proceeds help to provide adequate shelter, nutrition, education/vocational training and health care to the orphans of Brenu.
Many have expressed a sincere interest in supporting this effort and so THE TIME IS NOW. With your help, the vision will soon become a reality.
Each and every donation makes a difference, so PLEASE help by sending your pledges to kimberly@obeyfoundation.org, by mailing your tax-deductible donations to OBey Foundation, P.O. Box 7030, Wilton, CT 06897 or by choosing to Donate Now through PAY PAL. Please share this information with family and friends who may also wish to help us to make a difference. We thank you in advance for your support and generosity.

In the spirit of
Afrikan Tradition, The Drum Call program encourages
participation from all ages including Adults and Elders.
Instructors have found that young participants are less
inhibited and learn faster when counselors and older family
members participate with them.
Our mission is to provide youth and young adults, ages 10-23, with the necessary skills, means, knowledge and motivation to become great leaders, positive role models and active participants in their communities. Ase is a Yoruba word meaning Power from Nigeria, West Africa. This word is used as fortification to bring power into whatever is spoken. Because we are talking about empowering the youth, [our future] A.S.E is the most effective way to bring about change.
