Hope begins the moment someone chooses to care...
Welcome To Uchegbu People Empowerment Foundation
đź’– Who We Are
At Uchegbu People Empowerment Foundation (UPEF), we believe that every widow deserves love, dignity, and the chance to rebuild her life.
We are a registered widow empowerment foundation in Nigeria dedicated to helping widows and their children overcome poverty, social stigma, and emotional loss through skill development, education, and community support.
Since our founding, we have stood beside women who have lost everything — helping them find hope again through widow support programs, small business grants, and vocational training that restore financial independence and self-worth.
Our Mission
We do this by providing:




Through these programs, we transform despair into dignity — and dependency into empowerment.
🌱 Why Our Work Matters
In Nigeria and across Africa, millions of widows are abandoned, denied inheritance, and left to raise children alone. Many live in poverty, facing isolation and discrimination. Without help, they fall into a cycle of hardship that affects their children and generations to come.
Our foundation steps in to break that cycle.
We not only provide financial and emotional support — we also equip widows with the tools to rebuild their lives. From tailoring to farming, business management to literacy, we help them earn income and reclaim confidence.
Because when a widow rises, an entire family rises with her.
