At FOJEIS, we believe everyone deserves opportunity, support, and hope, through grassroot programs , we help individuals build a brighter future
For us, sports is more than competition — it is a platform for purpose, character formation, leadership, and faith. Through sports, we reach hearts, transform lives, and build communities grounded in love, discipline, and hope.
Founded over a decade ago, FOJEIS has spent the past 10 years intentionally empowering young people, and using sports as a platform to communicate the values of Christ. What began as a vision has grown into a movement; transforming lives through outreach, mentorship, training, and faith-driven initiatives that continue to inspire lasting change.
Tolu Joshua is a Christ-centered leader and passionate advocate for sports development in Nigeria. She is the Founder of Friends of Jesus Excelling In Sports (FOJEIS), a faith-driven ministry committed to advancing the Gospel within the local and global sports community.
Through her work, Tolu intentionally integrates faith and sports, inspiring and equipping the next generation of purpose-driven athletes to excel both in character and performance.
