The organization was founded by Mr. Bayo Fatusin. Mr. Fatusin is a successful businessman in real estate, oil, gas, and the hospitality business. With his success, he has become a great philanthropist, embarking on various humanitarian and life-touching projects. As a Christian, Mr. Fatusin was raised by his late parents to love disadvantaged people and to embody God’s concern for the poor, the weak, and the less privileged. Over 2,000 verses in the Holy Bible describe God’s love and passion for the poor. Throughout his Holy Word, God commands his people to give what they have and share their wealth with those less fortunate. Mr. Fatusin followed the teachings of his parents and the Holy Word with the creation of the Bayo Fatusin Foundation.

We not only help Catholic Church widows, Volunteers regularly visit poverty stricken areas such as Takwa Bay Island, hospitals, and charity homes to distribute much-needed food and supplies to women, children, and the less privileged.

By educating those in need, we can help them become self-reliant and break the recurring, generational pattern of poverty. ''God is the foundation for all things and our commitment to caring for the less privileged. We may feed another’s hunger, but the hunger of the soul has a more lasting effect. In fulfilling our mission, we must also spread the word of God and support others in spreading the word of His love. To that end, the foundation supports the training of Dominican priests for the Catholic Church through St. Jude’s Apostolate and the Society for Vocational Support'' he posited .
