A few words
About Us
WHO WE ARE?
The Festus Adebanjo Care foundation was founded by Chief (Mrs) Folake Linda Kuyoro – Adebambo Asiwaju YeyeOge of Ijebu – Imusin. The charity organisation was established in honour of Pa Festus Adebanjo Kuyoro with a special focus on supporting and improving the well-being of elderly people in our community.
We noticed that many elderly people experienced loneliness, isolation and a lack of companionship and we wanted to do something meaningful to make a difference. This is why we set up our elderly day centre a safe working place where elderly people can come together, socialise, participate in activities, receive support and enjoy companionship.
