About Us
The Ekpen Eribo Foundation was established in honor of the late Dr. Godfrey Nora Eribo and Alhaja Mrs. Rahamotu Aikpitanyomo Eribo, whose lives exemplified selflessness, compassion, and a profound dedication to serving others.
My mother’s unwavering generosity was evident in her many quiet acts of kindness—most notably, her decision to use an inherited piece of land to build a mosque for the Muslim community in Upper Sokponba. She recognized the community’s spiritual needs and responded with humility and grace, never seeking recognition.
My father was a steadfast source of support for many, and his passing in 2007 left a profound void. The overwhelming outpouring of love and grief from those he helped served as a powerful reminder of his impact. Inspired by his legacy, I began personally funding charitable efforts in his name, determined to keep his vision alive.
In recognizing the growing need for a more structured and sustainable approach, we officially registered the Ekpen Eribo Foundation—first in Nigeria with the Corporate Affairs Commission, and later in the United States as a nonprofit organization with the Texas Secretary of State.
