 OUR HISTORY

The vision started in 2014 with a few women from the St Mary’s Anglican Church Lagos with the aim of teaching women how to save, start up business(es) and also to provide food on their table most especially during the festive period.

It was initially known as St Mary’s Women’s Organisation Thrift, an informal association which was fueled by the passion of the visioner Lady Ifeoma Okafor.

The success of the association and the overwhelming benefits enjoyed by its members led to an alarming increase in it’s membership base.
This increase gave birth to Living Hands Foundation which currently has a membership base of over 7,000 men and women 

At LHF, members are encouraged and motivated to contribute a target amount monthly for a period of 12 months. At the end of the year, each member is refunded in bulk which can help birth their dreams.
In addition to their refunds, they also get various gift items such as bag(s) of rice, cartons of tomato pastes, noodles, detergent, cornflakes, vegetable oil etc.

LHF also conducts free medical check-up exercises, business fair as well as various seminars and workshops aimed at empowering its members to become better.
