The Joseph N. Nyabiosi Foundation (JNN) was founded by Lyneth Nyabiosi Evans, his daughter. The motivation for its inception, its reason for existence, is to follow the example of Christ by caring for “the fatherless and widows in their affliction” (James 1:27). This was Joseph Nyabiosi’s lifelong mission shared with his wife and children. And now to carry the torch, the JNN Foundation has been established.
The JNN Family seeks to be an instrument of mass achievement by representing and addressing the needs of the poor and the needy, with a primary focus on education and human development. JNN does not specialize in building buildings but building up people who can. JNN is synonymous with empowerment.
JNN Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Delaware.
