And Restore Their Hope.
Welcome to Uchegbu People Empowerment Foundation
At the heart of our mission is a simple truth — widows deserve love, respect, and the chance to rebuild their lives. In Nigeria, many widows face extreme hardship, losing not only their husbands but also their income, property, and community support.
Through the Uchegbu People Empowerment Foundation, we provide widow empowerment programs that help women overcome the challenges widows face in Nigeria. By offering skills training, small business support, and community care, we stand with widows to help them rebuild their lives and create a better future for their children. Together, we can support widows in Africa and give them the dignity and hope they deserve.
Why Widows Need Us
Millions of widows in Africa are abandoned, stripped of inheritance, and left in poverty.
Many face stigma and rejection while raising their children alone.
Without help, these widows fall into generational cycles of hardship and hopelessness.
