ARK OF CYPRESS INC. is a non-profit organization operating in Nigeria and the United States, dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through capacity development, entrepreneurship, leadership, employability, and sustainable livelihood initiatives.
Our flagship intervention, the Purpose Driven Income Strategy (PDIS), equips youth, professionals, women, entrepreneurs, and retirees with the mindset, skills, and systems required to discover purpose, create solutions, build sustainable income streams, and contribute meaningfully to society.
The vision for ARK OF CYPRESS INC. was born from a deep passion to share the Gospel and serve vulnerable communities. What began as evangelistic outreach to remote communities around Abuja in Nigeria soon became a life-changing mission of hope, compassion, and empowerment.
During these outreach programmes, I had the privilege of ministering to more than 200 people at a time, the majority of whom were women. Beyond their spiritual needs, we encountered heartbreaking social and economic realities.
Maryanne Ogeyi Ngban is a purpose-driven leader, transformational coach, author, speaker, and social impact advocate with over three decades of leadership experience in human resources, capacity development, and organizational transformation.
Following a distinguished career in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, where she served in senior human resource leadership and spent many years preparing professionals for life beyond work, Maryanne recognized a deeper challenge facing individuals and communities: many people retire from their jobs without discovering their true purpose, while countless young people struggle to find meaningful opportunities in a rapidly changing world.
To empower people to discover their purpose, unlock their potential, and become creators of sustainable value for themselves, their communities, and the world.
To transform lives through education, capacity development, entrepreneurship, innovation, and purpose-driven empowerment.
