A dedicated office of the Society
Finance & Operations
The office that keeps the Society's reading life running behind the scenes — clear records, careful review and honest answers about every payment and contribution.
Office Director
Adepoju Benjamen
Director of Finance & Operations
Adepoju Benjamen leads the Society's Finance & Operations office. Because this office handles the Society's contributions, payment requests and financial records, it is presented here — in its own space, separate from the founding team — so supporters and members always know exactly who looks after these matters.
Every contribution made to the Society and every approved payment passes through this office. It exists so that the Society's generosity — and the trust of the people behind it — is handled with the care it deserves.
What this office does
How payments and contributions are handled
A simple, careful process — the same for every supporter and every member.
You reach out
A supporter sends a contribution through the Support Virelle page, or a member asks about a payment — every enquiry arrives in one place.
The office reviews it
Each request is read carefully, checked against the Society's plans and answered with clear, written next steps.
Payment details are shared
Once a request is approved, the office sends the payment options and instructions directly to the person who asked — nothing is displayed publicly.
Everything is recorded
Confirmed payments and contributions are logged and kept on record, with regular reporting to the Founder.
