Providing Hope

IT WAS 2020, in Nigeria. Another session was over and professional IT Consultant Dr. Emmanuel Binitie, who had been an Engineer from the age of 17years old with educational background in Accounting. He was surrounded by eight boys has he left Nigeria.

“I just figured they wanted my autograph,” says Emmanuel. He was wrong. They were begging for food. Distraught, Emmanuel bought the boys, most of them shirtless and shoeless, grilled chicken from a woman selling food on the street corner. It’s a moment that changed Emmanuel’s life. And as a result, it changed the lives of thousands of women and children in the poverty – torn Nigeria. “My wife and I made a commitment that night,” Emmanuel says. “If we ever had the ability to do something, we’d come back and help.”

After searching methods that would provide the most impact, in 2021 Emmanuel and his partner established Springs Finance Offshore, a micro- finance and offshore banking that gives small loans to the poorest of the poor in Nigeria.
