Benjamin & Esther Elesin Foundation
Who we Are

Benjamin and Esther Elesin
Giving Back.
Gaining Favour.
Creating a Ripple Effect.
The Benjamin & Esther Elesin Foundation is an International Non-profit that partners with schools, restoring education and giving back to their communities. We set up Projects that are specific to the school's needs, to see students reach their potential, and to empower teachers.
​
In memory of Benjamin and Esther Elesin, the Benjamin & Esther Elesin Foundation was founded to be a catalyst for growth in every educational system rooted in its community.
​
​
The foundation's main objective is restoring education, giving students a voice, empowering teachers, and giving back to our communities.
​
Benjamin and Esther Elesin worked for the Sokoto State Government, Northern Nigeria, in West Africa, between 1972 and 1997. They were strong advocates for quality education as they believed it should be the bedrock of any community. In particular, they devoted substantial resources to supporting activities of the Federal Government College Sokoto, Nigeria.
​
The Foundation is built on the family values embued by Benjamin and Esther Elesin - influential in their communities and great contributors to the humanity they were entrusted with.
​
Their values of hard work, of giving back to the community, and trusting in their God are the basis for what we do today.
We have come together to be a light and to bring hope to not just Nigeria, but every country that has become our community.
​
Trust God. Work Hard.
Success in school is not success in life.
Don't depend on anybody; set the hook and fish for yourself.
