During frequent trips from the United Kingdom to Abia State, our founder became increasingly aware of the number of poor and indigent widows and their children who had little or no support. Their struggles touched her heart and inspired a vision to make a meaningful difference.
On her return to the UK in 2018, Abia Daughters was born. A small group of women was invited to a first meeting at a restaurant in London, where the vision and passion for the organisation were shared — and where it was agreed that membership would be open to women of Abia State parentage committed to serving our communities.
Since our inception, we have been committed to empowering indigent widows across Abia State by restoring hope, promoting dignity and creating opportunities for lasting self-reliance. Through our collective efforts, we have supported widows in distress, sponsored the education of vulnerable children in primary and secondary schools, and enabled others to acquire vocational skills through apprenticeship programmes with business owners. Many have gone on to establish and manage their own businesses.
While we are grateful for the lives that have already been transformed, much more remains to be done. With your support, we hope to raise funds that will enable us to reach even more widows and their children. These funds will be used to provide vocational training, business start-up assistance, educational support, and other forms of sustainable empowerment.
Together, we can restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to families in need.
Please join us in lifting widows and their children out of distress. Every act of kindness makes a lasting difference. Thank you for your support.
