A Story Rooted In Compassion
Every movement begins with a story. St. Hannah Foundation was born from a deep commitment to serving others, restoring hope and helping vulnerable individuals discover new possibilities for their future.
I pour my life into helping others, because every joyous smile reminds me that hope is never lost — it only needed a hand, and I'm glad to be that hand.
Glory Akinola
Founder & President
Glory Akinola is the founder of the St. Hannah Foundation, a mission-driven organization established in honor of her beloved mother, Prophetess Hannah Okoh. The foundation was created to preserve and expand a legacy of compassion, service, and support for vulnerable individuals and communities.
Prophetess Hannah Okoh was deeply committed to humanitarian work and dedicated much of her life to caring for the less privileged. During festive seasons, she regularly visited orphanages and underserved communities, ensuring that children and families received food, clothing, and essential support. Her selfless acts of kindness touched many lives and became a lasting example of generosity and love.
Today, through the St. Hannah Foundation, Glory Akinola continues her mother's vision by providing assistance, empowerment programs, and community support initiatives for those facing hardship. The foundation stands as a living tribute to Prophetess Hannah's legacy, upholding the values of compassion, dignity, generosity, and hope that remain at the heart of its mission.
