LifeAid began in December 2007 as FoodAid, sparked by a missionary trip to a rural Nigerian village. Our founder, Atinuke Omisade was deeply moved by the harsh realities she witnessed. Orphaned children living in poverty, widows stripped of dignity, and entire families left without help.
That trip turned into a calling.
Today, LifeAid has grown into an international mission and has worked across Nigeria, Kenya, Thailand, Ivory Coast, Zambia, India and Bulgaria. Through community-centered outreaches, we restore hope, rebuild futures, and empower those forgotten by the world.
A simple statement in Mark 6:37- “You give them something to eat” led to the birthing of LifeAid, a charity that empowers orphans and widows. Looking after the vulnerable, creating opportunities, educating, nurturing and much more is what LifeAid is all about.
Our founder Atinuke is a visionary leader and ordained minister devoted to being a world changer. She is deeply passionate about helping the poor and vulnerable find emotional healing and is particularly interested in equipping and restoring dignity to children and women across the globe.
Through LifeAid, she continues to build a global community that reflects the heart of God: one that uplifts, empowers, and reminds the overlooked that they are seen, valued, and loved.
