DANKAYS is a double-barreled name founded in 2010 by Daniel and Notoya Bangura. It is a combination of Daniel and Kadian, Notoya’s middle name. It was coined when their US-based Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) business was established. By mid to late 2014 it became a household name known for providing complimentary HVAC tutoring to minority individuals. The company express its values by providing discounted and sometimes free HVAC services to clients who could not always afford to pay. As a result, an attitude of social responsibility redefined DANKAYS as an outreach mission geared towards assisting the needy. 

Daniel, and his wife Notoya, envisioned that identifying with individuals who benefit society is a civic duty. In 2017, the Banguras went beyond boarders to help facilitate and launch CHANCE-2 Mental Wellness & Recovery Hub, Jamaica Foundation. In the years following, Mr. and Mrs. Bangura started promoting initiatives in healthcare, education, sanitation, housing, employment, and disability, specifically for less fortunate communities in Sierra Leone. The culmination of their journey came full circle on May 11, 2021, when DANKAYS OUTREACH MISSIONS was born. During the COVID-19 era, Daniel and Notoya joined forces with volunteers and donors to deliver aid and foster their initiatives. Consequently, the corporate image of DANKAYS evolved from making clients comfortable in their homes to “Delivering Assistance Needed Knowing Adversity Yearns Support.”
