THE FOUNDING STORY
OSFEE was founded by Precious Osamudiamen Osazuwa in 2023 after witnessing firsthand the gap between the resources available in Benin City communities and the real needs of children trying to access quality education.
I have often been asked why Orange Sky Foundation (OSF) works primarily with grassroots schools and churches as a way of reaching underserved communities.
Some have questioned my motives. Others have asked why we don’t simply donate to existing NGOs instead of running OSFEE ourselves. And over time, as OSF has grown in less than three years, some have come to understand — even if slowly.
There is a story I have never told, not in OSFEE meetings or during outreaches. However, OSFEE story is not complete without this story
This is the story of the woman who raised me.
She took me in when I was nine years old and loved me as her own from that day onward. She was a missionary, a pastor, and a mother to many. Her entire life was dedicated to service — both to God and to humanity. She never married and never had biological children, yet she raised countless people through love, sacrifice, and faith.
As a missionary, she would gather clothes, food, money, and supplies from friends, family, and anyone willing to give, then travel to remote villages to preach and share with people in need. For years, we lived in a rented room and struggled, but none of these hardships ever stopped her. Never once did she divert funds or materials meant for the needy.
Every year on December 12th, her birthday, she saved money to bake a cake, cook meals, and invite all the children in our area to celebrate with her. I watched this for over 20 years. At the time, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t understand why we could be going through so much and still give so freely to people who didn’t know us, who might never repay her or even remember her. Maybe they did. I can’t say for sure.
But these moments shaped me.
Her footprints were the most visible ones ahead of me, and I believe they became imprinted deep into my subconscious.
OSF was birthed on June 1st, 2023, with a focus on using grassroots schools and churches as channels to reach underserved families. That vision didn’t come from theory — it came from a life I watched being lived every day.
As they say, an apple does not fall far from the tree.
She loved the worked OSFEE does - deeply. She constantly asked for updates and wanted to know when the next outreach would be. She followed OSFEE on Facebook and was in the comments of almost every post, right up to our outreach on December 20th, 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She also underwent two sessions of closed thoracostomy tube drainage. She spent most of 2025 in hospitals. Yet even in pain, she followed OSFEE’s outreaches with excitement. She called from the hospital to ask how each outreach went, to hear about the joy of the participants and beneficiaries, and she prayed for me after every call — always ending with a quiet “thank you.”
Below is a screenshot of the last comment she made on an OSF post after the successful outreach on December 21st, 2025.
On January 7th, 2026, she passed on.
She left behind a pain and a void I am still learning how to process.
OSFEE is her legacy. She raised a boy who learned to see the world through her eyes.
To everyone who has supported OSFEE in any way and helped make our outreaches & Initiatives successful — I hope you understand a little better now. Thank you for bringing joy not only to underserved families, but also to the woman who raised me.
Today, I honour her publicly, just as I always have privately. And I trust that her soul is resting in peace.
The name says everything: Orange Sky - the colour of hope at dawn, of possibility, of the sky that belongs to everyone regardless of background. Foundation - because we build from the ground up, brick by brick, child by child.
While OSFEE is built on Christian values, we don't descriminate against anyone or beliefs - from volunteers to beneficiaries
Since 2023 OSFEE has reached 1,012+ beneficiaries across 12 schools and 12 community partners across multiple states in Nigeria - deploying ₦4.37M at an average cost of ₦4,327 per beneficiary.
