The beginning of a heartfelt mission! Life Helpers Initiative (LHI) began as Beulah Projects, a passionate response to the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in Sokoto State. These children, often overlooked during national and religious celebrations, were given hope through funfairs, parties, and inclusive events. This year laid the foundation for what would become a transformative journey.
LHI officially established its headquarters in Sokoto on October 1. The expansion of services beyond events required a legal framework, evolved from informal support to a legally recognized entity, leading to its transformation from Beulah Projects to Life Helpers Initiative (LHI) providing a strong foundation for structured interventions. By 2007, it became fully registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission and aligned with key government agencies and civil society networks.
