At WCS, we strive to prepare students to make a meaningful impact on the world. This year’s senior class is no exception, and we’re excited to spotlight Oluwaseyi Adodo, a compassionate and driven leader from the Class of 2025.
Meet Oluwaseyi Adodo
Grade: 12th
Years at WCS: Since K4
Oluwaseyi founded the Osarosa Intervention Foundation, a nonprofit organization registered in Nigeria in 2023 and officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) in the United States as of August 2024. The organization is dedicated to transforming lives by providing free surgeries, counseling, and rehabilitation to women in Nigeria.
The Osarosa Intervention Foundation addresses critical issues affecting women in Nigeria, particularly complications from early childbirth and inadequate healthcare. Services offered include:
- Free surgeries for women in need.
- Counseling and rehabilitation to help women recognize potential risks in future pregnancies and avoid complications.
The foundation’s first success story is inspiring. At only 16 years old, a young woman received surgery and was later empowered to start her own food business.
What Inspired Oluwaseyi to Take Action?
After hearing about the movie Pretty Baby and talking to her mother, Oluwaseyi became curious about child marriages and the associated health risks. As part of the Nigerian culture, she was moved to take action and support vulnerable women in her community.
Since its inception, the Osarosa Intervention Foundation has made remarkable strides:
- 14 women have been helped, receiving surgeries and support.
- Two women have launched businesses, becoming self-reliant.
- Plans are underway to build a hospital with improved operating facilities to offer better care.
While the journey has been impactful, it has also been challenging. One significant hurdle is finding trustworthy connections in Nigeria to expand the foundation’s work.
How Can You Support the Mission?
The Osarosa Intervention Foundation welcomes support from people around the globe. You can donate to further their work or provide supplies, such as hospital beds, women’s clothing, and baby items.
To help the foundation grow, a website and an Instagram page designed to raise awareness and connect with supporters are underway. Stay tuned for updates and more information on how you can help
Oluwaseyi Adodo is an inspiring example of how determination and compassion can spark real change. We are honored to support her journey and look forward to what the future holds for her.
