A 501 (c) (3) Foundation Committed to Establishing Libraries & Increasing Literacy in Nigeria
Our Community
Fr. Mike Steve Ezeatu
We are a group of friends who are concerned about the desperate lack of educational opportunities which presently exists in Nigeria. Our paramount goal is to bridge this ever widening chasm by establishing libraries and creating educational opportunities.
Rev. Mike Steve Ezeatu is a Nigerian Catholic priest. He was a volunteer missionary in many parts of Nigeria. He is currently a priest chaplain at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ. Reflecting on his various experiences as a diocesan fide donum missionary priest in Nigeria, the many classroom experiences, the political and economic conditions of the people of Nigeria, and the man-made (politically promoted) illiteracy among Nigerians, he is convinced that one of the basic means of transforming the world is through education, which should be the right of every human being. Please support this project which aims to improve the human dignity of Nigerians through various forms of education. Your support can help transform the society and create a more peaceful world.

It is difficult to imagine a life without books, and the joy that reading brings. Reading, which from my earliest memories seemed a natural part of life, should be as available to people as the air they breathe. My parents imparted this wonderful gift to each of their twelve children by reading to us before going to sleep at night. We children in turn, read to each other. Some of my happiest memories involve sitting with a small child on my lap, together entering into the countless worlds that reading reveals. Reading opens up to a fuller and richer life. It gives depth and meaning to a life that otherwise would be painfully constricted. If, in the words of St. Ireneaus, "the glory of God is the human person fully alive", then an essential part of that process comes through reading.
Fr. Mike Steve is an embodiment of a person who is fully alive and it is my privilege to support him in this essential and life-enriching effort.

Alfred Ezeatu (1901 - 2002)
This is a portrait of a man who did not have an opportunity to obtain a formal education. Yet, he spent his life and resources paying for the education of many children. He spent very little time on himself but was devoted to the promotion of peace, solidarity and progress among his people. He was a man of the people, an uneducated educator. Alfred Ezeatu will be remembered by generations to come.
