Oshwal Education and Relief Board (OERB)
The Oshwal Education and Relief Board (OERB) is a non-profit organisation established in 1941 by members of the Oshwal Community in an effort to unite the various Oshwal Communities across East Africa. The founding fathers envisioned a strong and empowered Oshwal community through the provision of educational facilities for its members, hence the birth of Oshwal Academy.
