Introducing LIFT Initiative
On 18 August 2026, LIFT Initiative was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission. But the work started long before that.
Over the past two years, our founders, Pastor Francis and Pastor (Mrs) Foluke Oluwalade, donated ₦12,163,500 of their own money to pay a tuition-free school’s teachers, sponsor 44 pupils’ education, and back 24 small business owners in Ota.
Registering LIFT gives that work a structure to grow: published governance, independent advisers, and regular reporting to everyone who supports us.
What’s next: our 2026/27 pupil sponsorship drive. Find out how to sponsor a pupil.
