Preserving Heritage
Shaping Tomorrow.

From Tradition
to Transformation

The Foundation

The King Koko Foundation is dedicated to honoring the legacy of King Koko, a historic symbol of courage, resilience, and visionary leadership in the Niger Delta region.

Our mission is to inspire and drive positive transformation by promoting cultural preservation, advancing education, managing conflicts peacefully, advocating for gender equality, and fostering knowledge exchange through symposiums.

We aim to empower communities by championing justice, uplifting marginalized voices, and preserving our rich cultural heritage. The Foundation envisions a future where everyone, regardless of background, has access to opportunities for growth, equality, and a sense of pride in their cultural roots.

Our Core Initiatives

The Foundation is built upon five core initiatives that form the backbone of our work

Education

Education lays the groundwork for individuals and communities to create a prosperous and self-reliant future.

Cultural Heritage

The desire to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of the Nembe people and the Niger Delta as a whole.

Conflict Management

One of the central goals of the King Koko Foundation is to promote peace and stability in regions affected by conflict.

Gender Equality

An equitable society can only be achieved when women have equal opportunities and a voice in decision-making processes.

Knowledge Sharing

Our activities are aimed to build a network of individuals and organizations committed to making a positive impact.

Our Mission

We want to create a lasting positive impact in the Niger Delta region by empowering communities through cultural preservation, education, conflict management, gender equality, and knowledge sharing. The King Koko Foundation is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by our communities with a holistic approach that respects and honors our heritage while focusing on sustainable development.

The people of the Niger Delta can uphold their heritage while forging a path towards a prosperous and inclusive future.

Since the significant events of 1885, this is the first time a foundation of this kind has been established, bringing transformative change to the community. The King Koko Foundation is addressing long-standing challenges, empowering people through cultural preservation, educational support, conflict resolution, and initiatives for gender equality.

Prof. Olali

Thank you, King Koko, for your generous donation of 100 exquisite modern learning chairs to the ancient St. Lukes Primary School in Nembe. The children had to sit on the floor to learn, making it extremely challenging for the young students. You have greatly improved the learning environment by providing comfort and dignity to our children.

"Yes, yes, yes! This is a very welcome development for our people. May God bless you, King Koko, for your unwavering dedication and support. The Revisiting King Koko 2024 event was truly transformative, bringing together the community in celebration of our heritage and paving the way for a brighter future."
