OUR MISSION

Fili-Inc. was born from the love, kindness, and camaraderie of a group of five philanthropic ladies: Lisa, Maria, Cleo, Roberta, and Rosa. In 2008, Fili began its first mission: raising funds and drawing awareness for the Theotokos Girl’s and Boy’s Orphanage and St Ignatius School in Bakeswar, India. A humble nun, Sister Nektaria, has been the sole leader of these organizations for the past 25 years, and Fili responded to her call for funds to help sustain and educate the orphan children.

Since the beginning of Fili’s mission with Sister Nektaria, the orphanage and school have flourished and created a demand for a larger St Ignatius School to educate nearly 2,000 children, grades Pre-K – 12.

MAKE A CHANGE

These ladies came together as friends to each other and as friends to Sister Nektaria to work tirelessly to help stop human trafficking one child at a time and educate these poor and stigmatized children.

FILI, a Greek word, means friends. These friends began simply by reaching out to family, neighbors, and church organizations. Their support grew slowly, but immensely, over the years.

The ‘friends’ of FILI come together not only as friends to each other, but also as friends to their causes: helping and supporting those without a voice.
