This foundation will empower communities to be economically self-sufficient, politically engaged , socially just and educationally empowered.

THE NIGERIA STANDARD reports that the General Overseer, had in the past provided scholarships to hundred students from poor families, housing to displaced persons and financial support to poor women to boost their businesses.

Unveiling the foundation, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, who was represented by Professor Isaiah Essom, called on spirited individuals and groups to emulate the philanthropic gestures of El-buba and to support the foundation toward meeting the needs of the poor.
