Who we are

Helping the less privileged since 2017

In 2017, Durojaiyeola Relief Foundation was founded as a non-governmental organisation (NGO) and private foundation in Nigeria. DRF aims to help the less privileged and provide for the poor.

We work towards this mission by offering a place of safety for homeless children and widows, providing succour for widows and the needy, providing the essential needs of the indigent, designing and executing programmes that give financial independence to widows and youths, and providing free health checkups and free legal services to widows with the support of partner agencies.

Our mission

Our major goal is to support the less privileged, and to reduce the poverty level in Nigeria and Africa.

A journey for us

It begins with us

  • The burden

    We are a non-profit organisation with the burden to put a smile on every face across the globe. We believe it begins with us.

  • Projects

    We have strategic projects in place that build lives and make an impact on our world.

  • Deployment

    Human development is a high priority for us, so we ensure there are developmental projects for the growth of children, youths and everyone willing to grow.

Lend the hand

DRF has also financed market women to support their businesses, and has established many widows. Our work impacts young people by empowering them through skills acquisition, supports communities, and encourages youths to embark on self-development.
