Our Story
Yargote Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful observation: boys in underserved communities face unique challenges that often go unaddressed. Founded in 2015, our organization emerged from grassroots efforts to provide mentorship and support to young men who needed guidance the most.
What started as a small community initiative has grown into a comprehensive foundation serving thousands of boys across multiple communities. Our approach combines traditional mentorship with modern educational support, life skills training, and community engagement.
Today, we continue to expand our reach while maintaining the personal touch that makes our programs so effective. Every boy we serve is not just a statistic—they're a future leader, innovator, and positive force in their community.
