Folanwaleayo Empowerment Foundation
A faith-driven, non-profit outreach carrying the burdens of the vulnerable — through education, health support, and economic empowerment. No one should suffer without support due to lack of resources.
About BBC
Folanwaleayo Foundation is a faith-driven, non-profit organization committed to expanding access to quality education, healthcare and economic opportunity for vulnerable and underserved children, families and individuals across Nigeria.
We identify and sponsor eligible children and youth in primary, secondary and university education, and work toward affordable schools for the less privileged.
We mobilize funds, conduct hospital visits, verify cases, and facilitate direct payments for treatment, surgery and medication.
We enroll beneficiaries in certified rehabilitation centers and provide vocational training to help them regain dignity and independence.
Through LEAP, beneficiaries graduate with practical skills, mentorship, and pathways to sustainable, self-reliant livelihoods.
Our Approach
Thousands of children from low-income families are unable to access or complete quality education. School dropouts remain high, and limited access to affordable, quality institutions continues to widen the gap between privileged and underserved children.
We identify vulnerable children and youth through communities, schools, faith-based organizations and local partners, providing scholarships, tuition support, learning materials and uniforms.
We keep beneficiaries in school through mentorship, academic guidance, psychosocial support and regular progress monitoring — reducing dropout rates.
Establishing affordable primary schools, secondary schools and a university so every child can learn and reach their full potential, regardless of background.
