We help and empower the less privileged in reaching greater heights.
The Wilson & Yinka Badejo Foundation (WYBF), formerly known as Wilson Badejo Foundation, is a registered non-profit organization guided by a core belief that every member of our society deserves a chance to live a healthy, economically integrated, and productive life.
Founded in 2007 by Rev. Dr. Wilson Badejo, the foundation focuses on providing programmes and support services that help meet some of the needs of less privileged people and impoverished communities. Over the years the foundation has been able to rehabilitate over 2000 at-risk youth (aka area boys / girls), provided over 500 scholarships awards to indigent students, completed several community development projects, and much more.
Rev. Dr. Badejo was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the foundation until his passing unto glory on the 7th of August 2021. Rev. Mrs. Adeyinka Badejo, his devoted wife and lifelong partner, was the co-founder of the foundation and served as the Vice Chairman on the Board of Trustees until her unexpected passing unto glory on the 13th of November 2021.
As a way of immortalizing the contributions and legacies of the founder and co-founders, the Board of Trustees of the foundation voted in 2022 to officially rename the organization from Wilson Badejo Foundation (WBF) to the Wilson & Yinka Badejo Foundation (WYBF). The mission and objectives of the foundation did not change with the rename. Watch the short video below to learn more about the foundation and its evolution till date.
