Community Relations
X
Oando Foundation is actively involved in the provision of social amenities and improving the quality of life for people in host communities; in doing this, the need to drive development from inside out is recognized i.e. development should be based on identified pressing needs of the community as against the practice of instituting projects based on the perceived needs of communities.
The warmth and reception of our host communities is a clear testament to the functionality of this principle. From the support and sponsorship of youth-led developmental initiatives, cultural festivals and seminars, to the provision of boreholes, we have tried to affect our hosts in all facets of their socio-cultural lives.
Our engagement strategy also recognises the need to be pro-active in identifying the needs of the present and next generation of inhabitants, it is therefore our practice to implement sustainable programmes that have a multiplier effect on our communities and their way of life.
