The annual Otuamele Festival was established as a special occasion to celebrate the Foundation, strengthen unity among members, promote African indigenous culture, and give thanks and glory to EDUMARE. It brings together members, invited guests, cultural practitioners, traditionalists, supporters, and others who identify with the Foundation’s vision.

The festival celebrates the Foundation’s identity and achievements, promotes ancestral traditions, shares stories of hope and perseverance, encourages charitable giving and educational support subject to available resources, and inspires younger generations to preserve our heritage.
