About Us
Restoring hope, one life at a time.
Emmanuel Relief Foundation (EMREF) is a faith-driven non-profit serving widows, orphans and the less privileged across Ogun and Osun States, Nigeria.
Our story
From a single act of compassion to a movement of hope.
EMREF was founded in August 2020 by Pastor (Dr.) F.A Adetayo, born out of a deep burden for the widow, the orphan and the forgotten. What began as small acts of kindness in Ijebu Ode has grown into a structured relief foundation serving hundreds of families each year.
With branches in Ijebu Ode (Ogun State) and Apomu (Osun State), we provide monthly food relief, education support, emergency aid and empowerment programs — all rooted in faith, dignity and accountability.
