Who We Are
Every Culture Deserves to Tell Its Own Story.
Edo Foundation is a cultural and creative foundation committed to preserving and sharing the authentic story of the Edo people. Based in Nigeria and expanding its cultural presence internationally, the Foundation documents the history, heritage and achievements of Edo — presented with depth, context and authenticity.
