About Us
Onuwa Foundation for humanity exists to bring hope and dignity to the vulnerable and less privileged. Through education, mentorship, and skill-building, we empower individuals to rise above poverty, while our healthcare initiatives provide life-saving support and sustainable access to medical care. We believe that when people are given the tools and opportunities they deserve, they can transform not only their own lives but also their communities.

What we do
Our Programs
At Onunwa Foundation for Humanity, we are committed to restoring hope and dignity to vulnerable communities. Our work is built around practical solutions that meet immediate needs while creating lasting impact. From education and healthcare to livelihoods and emergency relief, we focus on empowering people to live healthier, stronger, and more self-reliant lives.
Education & Mentorship
We believe education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Through scholarships, mentorship, and skill-building initiatives, we open doors for children and young adults who might otherwise be left behind. From covering school fees to providing career guidance and practical training, we empower individuals to pursue their dreams and build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Healthcare Access
Health is a human right, not a privilege. Our healthcare programs deliver essential medical aid and outreach to underserved communities—offering free medical and surgical treatments, free medications, and preventive health screenings. Beyond treatment, we conduct health education and awareness campaigns that empower families with the knowledge to prevent illness, care for themselves, and live healthier, more dignified lives.
Sustainable Livelihoods
Lasting change happens when people can provide for themselves. Through vocational training, small business support, and job-readiness programs, we help individuals build sustainable livelihoods. By equipping people with employable skills and entrepreneurial knowledge, we create self-reliant families and stronger communities capable of breaking free from poverty.
Emergency Relief
When crises strike, the most vulnerable suffer the most. Our emergency relief program provides urgent support in times of disaster—delivering food, clean water, shelter, and clothing to those in need. Beyond immediate aid, we help families recover and rebuild, standing with them as a source of hope and stability in their hardest moments.
