About The Uzo-Abaké Foundation

The Uzo-Abake (UA) Foundation is dedicated to uplifting the lives of young women and girls by

advancing their access to essential healthcare, education, and meaningful opportunities for growth.

At The UA Foundation, we believe that when women and girls are empowered with knowledge,

skills and the tools essential for wellbeing, they become profound catalysts for thriving societies and

institutional change. Our mission is deeply rooted in the conviction that every woman deserves the

chance to reach her full potential, uninhibited by socio-economic, cultural and personal obstacles.

At the heart of The UA Foundation is a strong commitment to women’s health. We recognise that

health is the foundation upon which every ambition is built. Without good health, both mental and

physical, even the brightest of minds with the brightest futures can dim. Our work will aim to break

down the barriers that prevent women and girls from accessing high-quality, reliable and culturally

sensitive healthcare. Through health education programmes centred mainly on reproductive and

menstrual care, advocacy initiatives, medical outreach and support services, we will strive to ensure

that women and girls can make informed decisions about their bodies, wellbeing and futures. By

expanding access and education relating to healthcare, we intend to empower young women not only

to survive but to thrive with dignity and confidence.

​

Equally, we believe that education is a powerful force for transformation. The UA Foundation will

work to create pathways so that young women can pursue academic excellence and personal

development. We aim to support initiatives that reduce barriers to schooling, provide essential

learning resources and open doors so skill-building opportunities that will provide an avenue for

young women to achieve their long-term goals and economic independence. Through mentorship

programmes, scholarship opportunities, vocational training and more, our goal is to cultivate an

environment where women and girls feel seen, supported and capable of achieving greatness.

The UA Foundation stands for empowerment, access and opportunity. We believe that investing in

the young women of today is one of the most powerful ways to uplift our communities. Our work is

guided by compassion, integrity and an unwavering belief in the brilliance and resilience of the

women and girls we serve.

​

This foundation is born from the strength and sacrifices of the women who have laid the foundations

for us to pursue our dreams. The women whose quiet strength and unshakable will to create

something better, something that mattered for the next generation of women meant that we could

use our voices and platforms to begin contributing to meaningful change. Their legacies demand

that we extend the opportunities that they believed in to every young woman that needs them. Their

courage is our blueprint and their dreams our call to action.
