The Buni Yadi Foundation was founded by Niyi Ayoola-Daniels now a lawyer, who while a teenager in Secondary School was a victim and survivor of false criminal accusation several years ago in Buni Yadi village, which was then in the old Borno State (now Yobe State) of Nigeria. After experiencing his own traumatic ordeal and overcoming it, Niyi felt a deep sense of compassion and a calling to make a positive difference in the lives of others, particularly the children in Buni Yadi and beyond.

The Foundation's roots trace back to Niyi's personal journey of healing and transformation. Learning of the tragic murder of 59 students in Buni Yadi stirred memories of his own trauma there. Despite anguish, Niyi emerged as a beacon of hope, shifting from victim to catalyst for change. Fueled by compassion, his vision extended beyond past traumas, recognizing dire conditions for out-of-school children. The Buni Yadi Foundation embodies his vision, aiming to provide welfare, education, and justice. Niyi and his wife Leticia officially founded the foundation on April 29, 2021, driving a mission of hope and transformation for out-of-school youth. Through outreach, scholarships, and compassion, the foundation offers brighter futures. Niyi's journey is a testament to the power of compassion, inspiring change in Buni Yadi and beyond.
