Our Essence PISTIS Foundation is a non-profit, social enterprise vehicle, established to be a model provider of empowerment opportunities for the economically challenged in target communities with education, health and shelter as key focus areas.

Unique to us at Pistis Foundation is our focus on economically challenged individuals, because we recognize that even the previously empowered can fall into trying times and may temporarily be unable to meet some of their basic needs. Our interventions therefore focus on providing quality health care, education and shelter to those who require it at the time.

Founder’s Welcome Godman Akinlabi

I

am really delighted to celebrate our fifth anniversary with you, our dedicated partner.

Without doubt, your generous support has enabled us to record life-changing stories, within this short period of time, and this is just the beginning.

Our strategic focus on health, education, and shelter initiatives have enabled us to impact thousands of lives in Nigeria, whilst also inspiring others around the world, to impact lives, where possible.

We are immensely grateful to the Almighty, for all that has been achieved thus far, and look forward to doing more in the years to come.

We also welcome all our new partners who recently joined our pool of long-standing collaborators, impacting lives with us.

Thank you for coming to celebrate this milestone with us, and to support the children in our kids-off-thestreet shelter.

Your kind donation will go a long way in ensuring the sustainability and scaling of our shelter initiative, as well as other programs at Pistis Foundation.

We encourage you to commit to partnering with us for the long haul, in order to enable us scale our reach and impact even more lives.

I welcome you once again to our 5th anniversary Gala Night and here's wishing you a very warm and fulfilling evening.
