About Our Foundation
Biraidu Unity Foundation was birthed out of community based love exhibited by a group of men and Women from Biraidu Community, a district headquarters of Biraidu District, Dekina Local Government, Kogi state, north central Nigeria.
BUF was borne out of genuine love for the development of the land and out of affectionate communal engagement through empowerment and strategic interventions in the area of humanitarian services.
The Biraidu Unity Foundation (BUF) emerged as a testament to the genuine love and commitment of individuals in the Biraidu Community, driven by a shared vision for the development of their land.
In May 2017, pioneers like Mr. Dauda Isiaka, Mr. Odoh Akowe, Mr. Hassan Attai Ahmed, Mr. Onalo Atokolo, Mr. Onalo Idris Omeji, and others joined forces with a selfless inclination to empower and intervene strategically in humanitarian services.
United by a common purpose, the group expanded its membership, seeking individuals without questionable character who shared their altruistic ideals. In fostering this, monthly meetings, held every second Saturday, became the foundation’s heartbeat and the springboard through which contributions and discussions that fueled their commitment to aiding the less privileged in Biraidu District and its surroundings.
They Recognized the need for a more formalized structure which culminated to the idea of transforming into a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) was proposed during these meetings. This decision aimed to distinguish BUF from conventional village gatherings and attracted like-minded individuals, while some with immediate self-interests parted ways.
History was made on the 26th of June 2019, when the Biraidu Unity Foundation officially took shape and earned its legal recognition through a CAC registration as officially required by the law of the land.
The journey was marked by the registration of BUF, complete with a 7-member strong Board of Trustees led by respected individuals such Alh. Mukail Isa, Mrs. Pauline Ajanya, Dr. Tairu Shaibu, and others.
Through collective efforts, BUF evolved from a concept born out of love for community development to a registered NGO, standing as a horn of hope and a slate of empowerment for the less fortunate in Biraidu District and beyond.
The foundation has over the years assisted the less privileged in the community through strategic empowerment and skills acquisition programmes, made some salient donations to schools and have complemented government’s efforts in delivery of healthcare services to the people through medical outreaches across the communities in the land.
