The Foundation of LICHIPU
Growing up in Nigeria, like many Nigerians, life was often a quest to survive rather than a journey to flourish. The struggle for basic needs—food security, reliable energy, and access to clean water—defines the daily reality of many. These intercepted challenges, exacerbated by food insecurity, energy poverty, and water crises, threaten the very fabric of existence. How can one truly flourish without these essentials? The answer is simple: it is nearly impossible.
This stark reality, coupled with an opportunity for interdisciplinary education—intersecting agricultural engineering, philosophy, applied ethics, environmental science, and project management—ignited a vision to confront these multi-layered challenges with innovative, sustainable, and community-focused solutions.
At the heart of these challenges lies the growing threat of climate change and the unrelenting scourge of poverty. These crises demand not just temporary fixes but a sustainable approach rooted in building human adaptive capacity. Flourishing requires more than survival—it calls for resilience, collaboration, and action. This is where the LICHIPU FOUNDATION was born, not just as an organization but as a movement guided by a simple yet profound philosophy: LICHIPU, derived from the Bette language of Obudu, Cross River State, Nigeria, meaning, “Let’s do it together.”
What is LICHIPUISM?
LICHIPUISM is a philosophy developed by Gabriel Sunday Ayayia, the founder of the LICHIPU FOUNDATION. It embodies the spirit of collective action and shared responsibility. Rooted in the phrase “Let’s do it together,” LICHIPUISM reflects the ethos of community-driven solutions, where collaboration and mutual recognition are at the heart of addressing complex challenges.
The Vision of LICHIPUISM
With your support, we can address these pressing challenges and build a future where every
Nigerian, every African, and indeed every person, has the opportunity to flourish. By embracing
LICHIPUISM, we affirm that solutions to our greatest challenges lie in coming together—pooling
our resources, knowledge, and efforts to create resilient and self-reliant communities.
Together, under the philosophy of LICHIPUISM, we can ignite hope, foster sustainability, and
ensure that no one is left behind.
But we cannot do this alone. We need you. We need each other. Together, we can make a
difference. LICHIPUISM is not just a philosophy—it is a call to action, a shared responsibility,
and a movement for change.

But we cannot do this alone. We need you. We need each other. Together, we can make a
difference. LICHIPUISM is not just a philosophy—it is a call to action, a shared responsibility,
and a movement for change.
