Our Journey

From humble beginnings to transformative impact

2025

From a Personal Mission to a Global Movement

The vision of the Apple of God Foundation was born in 2019 as a personal mission to give back and bring hope to underprivileged children. What began with small acts of kindness soon grew into a powerful dream to create equal educational opportunities for every child, regardless of their background. After years of silent impact and preparation, this dream became a formal foundation in 2025. With the official launch of the Apple of God Foundation, the mission expanded across borders, empowering countless young minds through education, love, and opportunity.
