who are we

The Sarah Ayoka Oduwaiye Foundation (SAOF), a cancer charity, was established in Nigeria in 2008, with operations in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The foundation was established by Doctor Olayinka Oduwaiye in honour of his late mother, who tragically lost her battle with cancer. This personal loss inspired the creation of SAOF, with the mission of raising awareness about cancer and the importance of early detection.
