NGO – Byinks Foundation – Takes Charity To Next Level

A charity /non-governmental organization (NGO), Byinks Foundation has been putting smile on the faces of young ones in Lagos State.

Over time, the Foundation has been offering scholarships to students of Lagos State public secondary schools that cannot afford the rising cost of education in Nigeria.

Byinks founder, Mr. Yinka Banire, in a chat with ElombahNews, said that the mission of Byinks Foundation is to alleviate unemployment, educate, feed and clothe communities all across Nigeria.

Mr. Banire said that he is focused on building and shaping the lives of youngsters.

He showcased a lot the Foundation has been doing to young Lagosians to ensure that they are not disenfranchised from obtaining real-time and quality education.

According to him, he has a special focus on young one who finished secondary school but could not afford to enroll in higher institutions.

His primary effort will be to help the youngster to take necessary examinations like National Examinations Council [NECO], Joint Admission and Matriculation Board [JAMB], et al.

Before the examinations, however, the Foundation enrolls the young ones into tutorage to prepare them for the task ahead in the form of extra-moral lessons and extra-curricula activities.

Afterwards, it helps them obtain the requisite materials in the form of books, clothings, foods, scholarships, even monies to stand them on the road to a successful life.

When asked how easy it is for him to handle such gigantic project, the Byinks founder admitted that he could achieve little were it not for the sustenance provided by kindhearted Nigerians.

He seized the opportunity to beseech philanthropic and benevolent Nigerians to imbibe the practice of giving as, in his own words, “no one has ever become poor from giving”.

He has on several occasions reached out to the governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, as well as other highly-placed individuals in the society for assistance, many of whom have responded generously.

Mr. Banire Yinka was a banker but left his job to pursue his pastime of galvanizing for the poor and the needy in the society, especially in the field of education.

He said his aim is to extend the goodwill to other states of the federation besides Lagos as the project cuts across ethnic and religious barriers.
