The Founder's Desk

Afolake Bello is a passionate Social Change Advocate dedicated to transforming lives through grassroots activism, strategic policy influence, and meaningful community engagement.

She is the Co-Founder of the Badara Kafaru Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2018 with a mission to break the cycle of poverty by sponsoring children’s education, providing essential food supplies, and launching impactful poverty alleviation initiatives.

Over the course of her career, Afolake has built powerful partnerships across sectors, working alongside nonprofits, government bodies, and community leaders to amplify awareness, shape inclusive policies, and craft innovative solutions to society’s most pressing challenges.

For more than two decades, she has been at the forefront of empowering marginalized communities and advocating for children and families across four local authorities in United Kingdom. Her work is grounded in a commitment to equity, environmental sustainability, and human rights.

Driven by the strength and resilience of the people she serves, Afolake believes that even the smallest actions can spark powerful change and she continues to champion a more inclusive, just, and hopeful world for all.

We must be the change we want to see in the world.

We are reminded that often times, lasting change begins with the courage and conviction of an individual or a people acting with purpose.

The
Badara Kafaru Foundation

The Badara Kafaru Foundation, co-founded by Folake Bello, answers a soul-stirring call to do even more. A quiet urgency within that has grown louder, and a vision that has gotten clearer: to expand reach, deepen impact, and uplift even more lives across Nigeria.

Interventions focused on alleviating child poverty and multi-dimensional hardship in Nigerian communities.

Advocacy and campaigns aimed at creating far-reaching awareness to the plight of the common child and their families.

Giving Hope To Families In Need

Our Projects

The Badara Kafaru Foundation undertakes several initiatives yearly, partnering with like-minded organizations to initiate projects that will bring about transformative change and serve as a beacon of hope to many.

Feed The Family Outreach

The Feed The Family Initiative is a Food Intervention by the Badara Kafaru Foundation that began in the year 2020 during the scourge of the covid-19 pandemic and has helped 1000+ families since.

No Child Sexual Abuse Campaign

In response to the alarming rise in reports of child molestation and sexual abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic: No Child Sexual Abuse events were held for over 120 young people, using the NSPCC-UK PANTS rules to educate and empower.

Charity Community Support Initiative

The Badara Kafaru Foundation set out on a massive charity community outreach to support other charity organizations and foundations in her community..

We Believe That True Change Begins With The Children

When we nurture their dreams, invest in their education, and stand beside their families, we are not just changing individual lives, we are rewriting the story of entire communities. We envision a future where every child, no matter how humble their beginnings, can rise to become a force for good, leading their generation toward sustainable progress.

Education is at the core of lasting change. We want to remove the barriers that keep children out of school and empower the next generation, by providing school essentials, a safe learning space and scholarships.

Education

We equip individuals with practical, vocational skills laying the foundation for financial independence, job creation, and a brighter, more sustainable future.

Skills Empowerment

Poverty is more than a lack of resources, it’s a cycle that keeps families from rising. Our initiatives provide practical support in form of vocational training, grants and community empowerment programmes that give families a chance to rebuild with dignity.
