History of PAAF

Founded by Adewale Adegoroye several years ago, the PAAF (Prince Adewale Adegoroye Foundation) stands as a beacon of hope and positive change in the community. Guided by the powerful motto "Inspiring Hope Through Action," PAAF's journey reflects a deep commitment to uplifting the underprivileged and fostering a brighter future for all.

Inception and Early Years

PAAF's inception was marked by Adewale's determination to drive meaningful change. Since its establishment, the foundation's core focus has been on translating hope into tangible action.

In 2017, PAAF took its first steps by paying the school fees of children in primary and secondary schools, recognizing education's pivotal role in breaking barriers and opening doors.

Our Vision

From the very start, we had one clear vision inspired by our faith and guided by our values, to create a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others through action.

Impact and Legacy

The initiatives of the foundation led by Adewale Adegoroye's unwavering commitment have touched countless lives and encouraged people to have hope for better futures. With "Inspiring Hope Through Action" as its motto, PAAF's experience is a testament to the strength of kindness, tenacity, and community-driven change.

Expanding Horizons

PAAF's impact continued to expand over the years, driven by its dedication to creating lasting change. Beyond education, the foundation extended its support to address broader challenges faced by the underprivileged. Assisting unemployed youths with CV creation and job placements reinforced PAAF's commitment to fostering self-sufficiency and resilience.

Empowering Entrepreneurship

Acknowledging the potential of entrepreneurship, PAAF extended its reach to aspiring small business owners within the community. By offering mentorship, guidance, and resources, the foundation empowered individuals to create their paths to success. This approach not only transformed livelihoods but also catalyzing economic growth within these communities.

2023: A New Chapter

As PAAF enters a new chapter in 2023, its commitment to inspiring hope through action is stronger than ever. The foundation's initiatives have evolved to encompass a comprehensive range of programs. The introduction of a hardship fund aims to alleviate immediate financial burdens, while the educational fund paves the way for deserving students to access higher education.

Central to PAAF's mission is the creation of a cloth bank, a tangible embodiment of its belief in promoting dignity and unity. By providing clothing and essential items, PAAF ensures that no one is left behind and that everyone can participate fully in their community with a sense of pride.
