Support Our Mission to Bring Hope and Life
The inspiration that drives us at HIFA, every day, comes from the boundless love and commitment of our founder, Adolf Paster († 2022) who, along with his wife, Martha, saw a desperate need to help during the Biafra War. We work hard every day to continue his legacy and give hope and a chance for a better life to those in greatest need. With your donation, we can transform the suffering of so many and bring joy. Become part of our mission and help us bring hope and life. Thank you in advance for your support.
This mission began many years ago with the brave efforts of Rev. Fr. Dr. Aaron Ekwu († 1989) and Adolf Paster, the former President of HIFA. Together, they began in 1969 to support the starving population of the Biafra region during the war in Nigeria, and continued their work following the end of hostilities.
Rev. Fr. Dr. Aaron Ekwu is revered in his homeland as “Father of the Poor” and his beatification process is currently underway in Rome. His sudden death in 1989 in a traffic accident reminds us how important it is to continue and improve the lives of others as much as we can.
Every day that we advocate for the needs of others and help them improve their lives, we honor the memory of Rev. Fr. Dr. Aaron Ekwu and Adolf Paster. As “Father of the Poor” and President of HIFA, they changed the lives of many people and continue to inspire us to continue their mission.
In both of them, we see a strong example of how we can use our lives for our neighbors and create a better future for all. With our work at HIFA, we carry on their legacy and advocate for those in greatest need. Together, let us honor the memory of Rev. Fr. Dr. Aaron Ekwu and Adolf Paster by continuing to make a difference in the lives of people in need.
