A few words about
Our Core Objectives
The objectives of Esan United DFW are built around a vision of unity, pride, and progress. We call this vision U.P.L.I.F.T. — a guiding framework that reflects our commitment to bringing Esan people together, preserving our heritage, and creating opportunities for growth both in the Dallas–Fort Worth community and in Esanland.
Each letter in U.P.L.I.F.T. represents a core goal — from uniting our people and promoting our culture to fostering peace, supporting one another, and creating pathways for economic and social development. This approach ensures that every action we take strengthens our bonds, advances our traditions, and leaves a lasting positive impact on the Esan community locally and globally.
