Founder's Story

PIL’s story begins with a young man’s desire to make a positive impact in his community. In 2019, Fikayo Aderoju wanted to give back to those in need in the city of Toronto, and so on his 20th birthday, he set out to provide supplies to those experiencing homelessness. During his first attempt, no one took any of the supplies. However, the following year he gathered a group of friends together, did more research to better understand the needs of the homeless population and went for it again. Out of that event, PIL was born, and each subsequent project has brought together more youth from around the Greater Toronto Area to impact lives in the community. Over the past four years, PIL has made significant contributions to the community by successfully completing various projects. These include organizing toy drives, establishing scholarship funds, hosting community events, and distributing food and supplies to those in need. PIL has taken the time to research and understand the specific needs of the homeless population, ensuring that our efforts have a tangible impact on the lives of those they serve.
