Who we are

Ernest Bebenimibo Foundation (EBF) is a Nigerian non-governmental organisation working to improve the lives of indigent children, widows, older people and young people. The foundation supports access to education and food, practical care for widows and older people, and skills that help young people become more self-reliant.

EBF works with local communities through relief and development programmes, helping people meet immediate needs while building stronger paths forward.

Our vision

Touching lives, one person at a time.

Our mission

We may not be able to change the world, but we can make it a better place by putting a smile on the face of one person.

Our aims

  • Create better learning environments and provide school materials that encourage children to remain in education.
  • Support out-of-school and indigent students, including scholarship pathways where resources allow.
  • Deliver youth empowerment and community development programmes.
  • Provide food, clothing, medication support and advocacy for widows, older people and vulnerable families.
  • Protect children’s rights through advocacy and parental education.
  • Build local capacity and sustainable livelihoods with communities.

What our colours mean

Purple reflects dignity and royalty, gold reflects significance and value, and white reflects peace. Together they express EBF’s belief that every person deserves dignity and has value.
