About Us

A Legacy of Compassion & Service

The Victoria & James Akinleye Foundation was born from a simple belief: that every person deserves access to opportunity, dignity, and hope. Founded in 2015 by Pastor Yemisi Wole-Akinleye, we have grown from a small family initiative into a recognized force for good across two continents.

Our work spans community development, educational scholarships, women empowerment programmes, and youth skills training. We operate primarily in Ibadan, Nigeria, and Toronto, Canada, bridging resources and expertise across borders to create lasting transformation.

Through our flagship platform Wakati Isegun (Hour of Victory), we also provide spiritual guidance, prophetic prayer, and teaching that empowers people to walk in faith and victory in every area of life.
