The Tunde Ekpekurede Foundation exists to promote, organize, participate and collaborate in social enterprises aimed to significantly transform idle, underutilized and neglected human capital assets to productive, prosperous, engaged, aspiring and empowered persons in Nigeria. In the early nineties, Engr. Tunde & Dr. Mrs Faith Ekpekurede began organizing motivational seminars in Sapele, Delta State for youths of the town. By the late nineties Tunde and his wife, Faith have chosen to midwife a group of disempowered youths who were passionate with the game of football in Sapele. The club was named EKPEKUREDE FOOTBALL CLUB. The club participated in many local football competitions in Sapele and by early 2000s was the number one team in town. The club continued to push its boundaries and in 2007 became the number 1 club in Delta State after winning the State Division one cup sponsored by Ecobank and will later that year represent Delta State in the National competition in Oshogbo, Osun State.
In 2010, Tunde and his wife Faith, used their resources to set up a world class business School similar to what they have seen in MBA schools in Europe and America to raise the aspirations of young adults in Warri. The program trained nearly 1300 young adults in Warri and Lagos between 2010 and 2015. The school entered into partnership with numerous SMEs in Warri and Lagos providing them volunteer and temporary staff. By the end of 2015 nearly 80% of all students of the school were either in full employment or running successful businesses. After a visit to the African Leadership Academy in South Africa, Tunde and a colleague of his, Eng Joe Otejere embarked upon leadership and entrepreneurial training for teens. Between 2012 and 2015, the Youth Entrepreneurship and Leadership Academy they set up trained nearly 100 teenagers.
