The Agbelebu Foundation has officially launched its groundbreaking Family Adoption Project, marking a bold step toward structured and sustained community welfare. The initiative was unveiled at a ceremony where the founder, Abiola Oluwagbenga, delivered an emotionally resonant address that underscored the foundation’s long-standing commitment to compassion, dignity, and empowerment.
According to Oluwagbenga, the idea for the Agbelebu Foundation was conceived over eight years ago—born not as an organization, but as a “burden” for struggling families battling unseen challenges. He emphasized that welfare, for the foundation, is not a program but a calling.
At the event, the foundation announced its overarching goal to adopt 1,000 families, beginning with Phase One, which will see 400 families integrated into a comprehensive support system. These families, he noted, will receive not mere handouts but deliberate and continuous empowerment through structured programs.
“This is not charity. This is family meeting family. This is humanity choosing humanity,” Oluwagbenga said, reiterating the foundation’s philosophy of providing long-term, holistic support.
The Family Adoption Project is designed to meet families’ needs across multiple dimensions—healthcare, education, economic empowerment, and emotional well-being. Over the next year, the foundation plans to partner with key organizations and individuals to deliver youth training programs, medical outreach, health insurance, food banking, GCE and JAMB support, scholarships, and technical education opportunities.
Oluwagbenga stressed that the project aims to ensure progress becomes “intentional, not accidental,” and affirmed that the adopted families will not walk alone. “Their challenges become our challenges, their victories our victories,” he declared.
In an emotional tribute, he extended heartfelt appreciation to his team, partners, volunteers, and donors, calling them the “heartbeat” and “wind” behind the vision. He reminded supporters that true power lies not in position but in compassion, and that the foundation’s mission is rooted in service and consistent impact.
To the families being welcomed into the initiative, he offered reassurance and belonging: “You are not beneficiaries. You are not numbers. You are family. And once we call you family, we don’t let go.”
The unveiling event served as more than the launch of a social project—it signaled the beginning of what Oluwagbenga described as a “revolution of compassion,” one poised to transform lives across communities for generations.
The Agbelebu Foundation continues to call on partners and stakeholders to join this vision of building stronger, more resilient families anhored in love, dignity, and humanity.
