ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Meet Ocewana Elizabeth Baker
Founder of the OEB Foundation
Ocewana Elizabeth Baker is the founder of the OEB Foundation, an organization created from her desire to build something that could make a meaningful difference in the lives of people and animals.
For years, Ocewana has wanted to create an organization centered around compassion, advocacy, protection, and hope. The OEB Foundation represents that vision — creating a place where survivors can feel heard, individuals facing difficult circumstances can find resources, and animals in need can receive compassion and assistance.
Her Vision
Ocewana's vision for the OEB Foundation is to build an organization that brings people and communities together to create meaningful support and change. Through survivor advocacy, community assistance, animal programs, education, awareness, partnerships, and outreach, she hopes OEB can continue growing into an organization that people can turn to when they need someone in their corner.
Why OEB Was Created
OEB was created from my own experiences. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know what it feels like to speak up and feel like no one is listening or willing to help. I also experienced how difficult it can be when a beloved pet becomes sick. When my dog needed surgery, I struggled to find a nonprofit in my area that could help with the cost and this non profit will worth with that.
A Foundation Built on Compassion
At the heart of Ocewana's vision is a simple belief: “No one should have to face their hardest moments alone.” Whether it is a survivor looking for support, a family facing hardship, or an animal whose needs have become difficult to afford, Ocewana wants OEB to be a place that responds with compassion and action.
Her Promise
“We’ll stand beside you. We’ll keep showing up. And we’ll never give up.”
