We are formally incorporated in the state of New York, USA and are registered with the IRS as a 501(c) 3 charitable trust. We look forward to the continued development of Ilupeju Ekiti, our “shining city on a hill”.

Our meeting schedules:

• Monthly general meetings (by teleconference) on the 1st Sunday of the month

• Executive Council meetings monthly typically on a Saturday or Sunday

• “Ilupeju Day”. We meet in person annually to mark and celebrate Ilupeju Ekiti

Our Goals

We are committed to making Ilupeju-Ekiti the best it can be. This includes, but is not limited to, the provision of basic essential necessities such as water and electricity. In addition, the provision of improved healthcare and technical skills alongside formal education are the cornerstones of our mission.
