Daddy Hezekiah Empowerment Foundation has been in existence since the birth of its founder, His Grace, The Most Rev. Professor Daddy Hezekiah. Right from his early days, he has been a philanthropist of note, even though many of his philanthropic deeds at the time went undocumented. Also, as a youth corps member as early as 1980, and later as a teacher, he used his meagre salary to provide scholarships to students from less privileged backgrounds who struggled to pay their school fees.
