Royal Foundation International (RFI) is a youth-led organization, established in October 2013 with a commitment to grow the economy while reducing the scourge of unemployment and poverty in West Africa by promoting individual effectiveness and wealth creation.
According to Kayode Babarinde, Co-Founder, RFI, “leadership and entrepreneurship are necessary skills Nigerian youths should have in solving 21st Century challenges through education. We believe these challenges need to be addressed sustainably in making the future better for the next generation.”
In 2013, RFI hosted a business and leadership summit for youths in Abeokuta and it featured a business plan challenge that provided the winner with a token support as seed capital. This was done in partnership with Centre of Entrepreneurship Studies (CENTS) of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and School of Business and Success International, Ota and since then, she has had a reach of over 5000 people in Nigeria and Ghana.
RFI mission is to facilitate personal effectiveness and wealth creation by promoting the ideals of leadership and entrepreneurship in West Africa, starting with Nigeria. To achieve this, RFI is currently recruiting volunteers via: http://bit.ly/2i3rk1q.
