WIDOW EMPOWERMENT
One in ten African women age 15 or older are widows. Approximately 8 million widows live in Nigeria with many living in extreme poverty.
EDUCATION
A 2022 UNESCO report noted that approximately 20 million Nigerian individuals of its approximately 200 million population are not enrolled in school.
HEALTHCARE
The healthcare statistics in Nigeria are abysmal. Additionally, the infant mortality rate is far too high at 19 deaths per 1,000 births. In addition, the mortality rate of children under 5 is 128 per 1,000

Charity With Difference
I am Ogunshina Olubunmi, and I must share how the Iregbobade Empowerment Foundation has transformed my life through their widows' empowerment program. In August 2023, they did more than expand my business—they breathed new life into it. Their support meant the world to me, reigniting hope and opening doors I once thought were closed. I'm profoundly grateful for their impact on my business and my spirit. Thank you immensely, Iregbobade Empowerment Foundation. May you continue to be a blessing, and may God always shower you with blessings in return.
Hello, my name is Nneka Adaramola, and I want to share how the Iregbobade Empowerment Foundation became a ray of hope in my darkest times. I lost my husband in 2022, and suddenly, the future seemed bleak. We had used up everything during his illness, and with his family's disapproval, life became tougher. I couldn't find work because my husband wanted me to care for our family. But then, IEFFOUNDATION stepped in. They didn't just send my four children back to school; they gave us a lifeline. Education for my kids was a burden lifted off my shoulders. Moreover, their monthly feeding allowance became our pillar of support. It's hard to express the depth of my gratitude. To the Iregbobade Empowerment Foundation: I pray that you never know the pain of loss as I did. May God bless your hearts abundantly for being our guardian angels in the darkest chapter of our lives. Thank you, and may your kindness be forever rewarded.
Thank God for sending IEF Foundation to me and my children it happened during the Iregbobade Empowerment Program in Ojo, Lagos, my kids are back in school, and I received cash support to sustain my POS business. I'm grateful for Iregbobade's assistance—thank you for making a difference in our lives. With gratitude,
