About IFFE, MALLI

Love, from Jasmine.

Iffe means love. Malli means jasmine. Together, they mean: love, from Jasmine. That is why this initiative exists: to share love with everyone else.

A community walking together at golden hour

Who we are

Born from a Simple Desire: To Protect Tiny Feet.

We have all seen them, especially in the market: little children with dusty, cracked and often injured feet, looking at shoppers and hoping for a kind gesture.

They say the feet are the foundation of our health. Keeping them clean and covered helps keep the entire body safe.

So this began with something simple: protecting those tiny feet, then growing to protect, provide for and nurture both our children and the ummah as a whole.

We are an Abuja-based initiative. We provide shoes, clothing and other essentials to children who need them, and we create reflective, conscious spaces for honest conversations about human relationships, personal growth and healthy boundaries.

What drives us is impact you can feel right away: warmth, fit, joy and the quiet confidence that comes from having what you need. Every delivery is a small step toward dignity.

Our mission

To build intentional spaces, initiatives and conversations that restore human dignity, nurture authentic connection and empower individuals to live with purpose and impact.

Our vision

A community where every person is equipped, valued and empowered to move through life with dignity, confidence and belonging.

For the soles we walk on and the soul we carry.

The sole

The physical journey. Everyday life, movement and practical realities. The paths people walk and the support that helps them keep going.

The soul

The inner life. Identity, dignity, belonging and human connection. The things people carry within, and the care they deserve too.

We all walk through something. And we all carry something. IFFE, MALLI exists for both.

What we do

Two Expressions, One Shared Purpose

IFFE: Sole & Soul

Comfort and confidence for the everyday child.
