The OF Vision

Empowering underprivileged young people in our society to realize their potential is Octopizzo Foundation’s lifelong ambition. There is a wealth of artistic talent and potential residing in slums, refugee camps and other settlements across the country, where millions struggle to survive every day on the margins of society.

 

OF believes in untying young people from the shackles of desperation through the uniting ingredients of Creativity, Art, Music and Sports.

Empowering.

It's time to give back

It’s an automated solution for management of help seekers and tracking of your donations.We use data to make decisions on who needs help the most, and we make sure our combined efforts are applied proportionally to all people in need.
