Ethana e’World Humanitarian Organization traces its roots back to 2017 when it was founded by Agu Belief Michael, a Philosopher, Philanthropist, and Visionary, alongside his partners Jay Credo and Michael Macgraw. Inspired by the ideals of ethicists dedicated to making a signicant impact through charitable giving, the organization was launched as an international community of compassionate individuals committed to giving more eectively. Over the past six years, Ethana e’World has been dedicated to establishing sustainable development projects in Nigeria, resulting in remarkable achievements documented in Our Achievements section.
In January 2023, Ethana e’World took a signicant step forward by being ocially registered as an NGO and establishing its new headquarters in Germany. Berlin, with its vibrant network of like-minded organizations, proved to be the perfect location for building a strong foundation for the organization’s future endeavors.
With a focus on creating a robust network of motivated young professionals and partnering organizations, the NGO aims to further expand its reach and impact across Africa.
Ethana e’World’s distinguishing characteristic lies in its immensely strong network of African stakeholders, particularly in Ghana and Nigeria. With the dedication of over 400 eld workers, the organization continues to work tirelessly to expand its network and activities, particularly in Northern Nigeria—a region known for its rugged challenges. Through relentless eorts and community engagement, Ethana e’World seeks to drive positive change and sustainable development in one of the most challenging environments on the planet. As the organization continues to evolve, it remains driven by its core values of compassion, empowerment, and innovation, ready to face the future with optimism and determination.
Holistic Sustainable Development Across Africa: Ethana e’World’s ultimate long-term goal is to spearhead holistic sustainable development initiatives across all African countries. By leveraging community engagement, local initiation strategies, and our four core programs (Agriculture, Education, Water and Sanitation, Green Energy), we envision creating a continent where poverty, malnutrition, and underdevelopment are signicantly reduced, and all communities can thrive in harmony with their environment.

By identifying new communities in need and partnering with local stakeholders, we aim to increase the number of initiatives that address agriculture, education, water and sanitation, and green energy, amplifying our positive impact on livelihoods and the environment.

Ethana e’World seeks to collaborate with like-minded organizations, governmental bodies, and corporate entities that share our vision and commitment to sustainable development. By pooling resources and expertise, we can enhance the eectiveness of our programs and promote a unied approach to solving the challenges faced by African communities.

These centers will serve as hubs for knowledge exchange, skill development, and innovative practices in agriculture, education, water and sanitation, and green energy. By empowering individuals with relevant expertise, we envision enabling self-suciency and sustainability at the local level.
