Meet Our Founders
​
Dr. Tayo and Sarah Emmanuel, founders of FDSF, grew up in an environment where they encountered several children homeless, deprived of food and shelter, and many more who were orphans. Without hesitating, both Dr. Tayo and Sarah Emmanuel made a decision to dedicate their lives to live a life of service, where they can positively transform the lives of many.
With that decision, Dr. Emmanuel spearheads several projects that create a magnitude of positive responses from the youth. He that the youth in this generation are the agents of change the world is looking for. Similarly, president Sarah Emmanuel, uses her skills as an educator and an environmentalist to advocate for individuals and families across the globe.
Both Dr. Tayo and Sarah Emmanuel envision a world of love, growth, and advancement for marginalized and underserved persons. They make this vision a reality through their exemplary service in local, national, and global communities. By using their skills and expertise, Dr. Tayo and Sarah Emmanuel ardently work towards aiding orphans, educating young women and girls, and providing pregnant mothers and low-income families with sustainable resources.
