At FECY Foundation (Francis Ediale Children and Youths Foundation), we believe that compassion is contagious — and that small sacrifices can spark big change.
Our story began in 2021, when a few recent graduates decided to do more than just talk about unemployment and hardship. Seeing how difficult life had become for their classmates after university, they began pooling small contributions to support those who couldn’t afford transport to job interviews, data for applications, or even a simple meal. What started as classmates helping one another quickly revealed a deeper truth — that collective kindness has power.
That spark grew into a vision: to create a movement built on service, empathy, and shared humanity. By 2022, that simple act of solidarity evolved into FECY Foundation, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children, youth, and families through community-driven initiatives.
From our first outreach — Pay 4 Lunch, providing free meals to those who could not afford one — to our projects supporting widows, single mothers, students, and small business owners, we have remained guided by one belief: no act of kindness is too small to make a difference.
FECY Foundation isn’t just an organization; it’s a family of passionate volunteers who believe that service begins with the heart. We exist to remind everyone that you don’t need to have everything to give something — you just need the will to act.
To inspire a society where compassion, service, and shared humanity become a way of life.
To empower children, youth, and families through service, education, and community-based programs that promote hope, dignity, and sustainable change.
