Who We Are

Dash Me Foundation is a collection of caring people who are from Africa, of African descent or just friends of Africa. What they have in common is an interest in uplifting the most needy, with special emphasis of orphans and vulnerable children, disadvantaged youth and victims of domestic violence. We have started our mission in Nigeria but have ambition to serve the West and Central African regions.

Dash Me is unique in being an umbrella organisation raising funds and awareness for the work of the myriad of small, indigenous charities who are undertaking high impact work that changes lives in West and Central Africa. Dash Me gives them a platform to show case their work and attract, much needed, support and funds.

Dash Me is currently active in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Nigeria, where it has its main base.
