About us
Who we are
The Odua Descendants in the Netherlands is the premier cultural hub for the Yoruba diaspora in the Netherlands.
The Odua Descendants Association is a cultural and socio-developmental organization established to promote unity, heritage, and progress among the descendants of Oduduwa — the progenitor of the Yoruba people. The Association serves as a platform for Yoruba sons and daughters, both at home and in the diaspora, to reconnect with their roots, preserve their rich traditions, and contribute meaningfully to the development of their communities.
Rooted in the values of togetherness, integrity, and progress, the Odua Descendants Association seeks to uphold the dignity and cultural pride of the Yoruba race through educational, cultural, and economic empowerment initiatives. Members share a common vision of strengthening bonds among Yoruba descendants while promoting peace, cooperation, and mutual respect among all ethnic groups.
