About Evelyn Oweibo
Evelyn Oweibo was born on February 20, 1979 in Lagos State, Nigeria. An accountant by profession, she is an alumna of Elelewon Girls Secondary School, Port Harcourt, and Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori where she earned her certificate in Accountancy.
In 2011, she was employed as an accountant with the Bayelsa State Council for Arts and Culture. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish several businesses in Bayelsa State.
Evelyn's deep compassion for others motivated her to establish the Evelyn Oweibo Foundation in 2021. Even before its formal creation, she had been a consistent source of hope and encouragement to many across different age groups and circumstances.
Currently residing in the United States, Evelyn remains committed to being a beacon of hope to those in need.
Our Foundation Story

- Noodles
- Rice

- Tomatoes
- Cash assistance
Through volunteer support and partnerships, we've addressed diverse needs - from business capital to food aid and healthcare support - recognizing that each situation requires unique solutions.
