About Us

Who We Are

ELSOPHI Global Development is a global not-for profit organisation with 14+ years of community transformation programming. We work at the intersection of education, health, and economic empowerment addressing the root causes of poverty and exclusion in the hardest-to-reach communities in Nigeria.

Everything we do flows from four core values we call FAVE:

Fear of God: we operate with reverence, humility, and integrity in all that we do, recognising that our work of serving the vulnerable is a sacred responsibility entrusted to us.

Accountability: We are transparent to God, to the communities we serve, and to every partner and donor who invests in this work, documenting honestly, stewarding faithfully, and reporting accurately.

Value for Human Life: We treasure the dignity and infinite worth of every person we serve. Every programme we design, every resource we allocate, and every community we enter is shaped by this conviction: that every human life matters enormously.

Excellence: we pursue quality in everything in our programme design, our evidence generation, our proposals, and our community engagement. We are never satisfied with good when great is possible.

These are not words on a wall. They are the standard by which we measure every decision, every programme, and every partnership and the foundation on which 14 years of community impact have been built.

Our Core Values

Our Story


Our story began a few years back in Ofolikpa community, a village in Ofu LGA of Kogi State,
Nigeria. Our founder met a family of four girls with their mother who just lost their breadwinner
to an unknown terminal illness. The oldest of the girls was about 10 years old and their young
mother had no sustainable livelihood to care adequately for the children. Moved with
compassion, our founder began supporting this family out of his meager personal income to
feed and for the children to go through elementary school, this personal compassion is what
has today evolved into an organized institution with a vision to empower the vulnerable and
marginalized to move out of systemic and extreme poverty, to live the fullness of life
and maximize their God-given potentials.
