Streams of Joy International was founded in 2011 by Pastor Jerry Eze, who also convenes the NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations) daily prayer platform that broadcasts globally with millions of consistent viewers. The church is headquartered in Enugu, Enugu State, and operates through branches across Nigeria and internationally.
The Jerry Eze Foundation has become one of the most documented private philanthropy programmes in the Nigerian church space, with verified contributions spanning housing, business grants, entrepreneurship support, and widows welfare.
Housing for Widows
In August 2024, the Jerry Eze Foundation delivered 18 fully furnished houses to widows across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. The announcement was made at the conclusion of a prayer session — not a press conference — reflecting the church’s approach to philanthropy without publicity. The houses were delivered to widows in cities including Maiduguri, Ado Ekiti, Enugu, Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
Business Grants
On Pastor Eze’s 42nd birthday in August 2024, the Jerry Eze Foundation distributed NGN 100 million in business grants to over 100 young Nigerian entrepreneurs across multiple sectors. Each recipient received a cash grant alongside mentorship access and business advisory support.
MSME Grant Programme 2026
In January 2026, the Jerry Eze Foundation launched a $300,000 MSME grant programme targeting 100 young entrepreneurs in Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Technology. Each selected beneficiary receives $3,000 (approximately NGN 4 million). An independent international consulting firm manages the selection process. The programme is open to all Nigerians regardless of faith affiliation.
