While achieving professional success, Engineer Ojekunle never lost sight of the realities faced by vulnerable individuals and families. His passion for humanitarian work stems from personal experiences and a lifelong conviction that those who are blessed have a responsibility to support those in need.

Guided by the biblical principle that “he who gives to the needy lends to the Lord,” he founded White Horse Charity Foundation as an expression of faith in action. What began as a personal commitment to support widows and vulnerable individuals has grown into a structured community-focused initiative dedicated to welfare support, community outreach, youth engagement, healthcare interventions, and humanitarian service.
