poverty and providing support to vulnerable individuals and communities across
Nigeria and Africa. Established by Rev. Fr. Charles Onyeneke in honor Mrs.
Veronica Ulumma Chinenyenwa Onyeneke, a woman of deep faith, compassion, and

At
the core of our mission is the belief that everyone deserves access to
education, economic opportunities, and basic human dignity. We focus on
uplifting the lives of children, youths, widows, orphans, and displaced
individuals by providing scholarships, vocational training, financial aid,
healthcare, and other essential support services.
The
foundation addresses critical challenges such as poverty, lack of access to
quality education, youth unemployment, and the welfare of vulnerable groups,
including people living with disabilities and those affected by conflict or
natural disasters. Through targeted programs and strategic partnerships, we aim
to create lasting change and empower individuals to build brighter futures for
themselves and their communities.
Our work extends beyond just providing immediate aid — we strive to empower people with the tools and skills they need to become self-sufficient and active contributors to their societies. From educational scholarships to agricultural development and leadership training, we are committed to promoting long-term solutions that foster sustainable growth and development.
