🎓 Scholarships & Education Support
Education is at the heart of our mission. We provide supplementary and university-level scholarships to orphans, widows’ children, persons with disabilities, and students from disadvantaged backgrounds in Nigeria.
Support is only provided after a thorough needs assessment, ensuring that funds are applied directly to tuition, books, school supplies, or accommodation costs, and only when such support is critical for a student’s continued education.
🔍 How We Ensure Fairness & Transparency
Application: When funding is available, opportunities are advertised on our official Facebook page and website.
Interviews: Shortlisted applicants are interviewed virtually via WhatsApp live video calls.
Verification: Applicants must provide an official academic reference from their institution, sent via their institutional email, from a designated representative (Head of Department, Dean, Lecturer, or Professor).
Direct CEO Oversight: To prevent fraud, the CEO personally calls senior institutional officials (e.g., Vice Chancellor, Head of Department) to verify the applicant’s identity, course, year of study, tuition fees, and, where relevant, confirmation of disability records.
Final Approval: Trustees in Nigeria supervise disbursement to ensure funds are used appropriately.
✅ This process protects the integrity of the programme, ensures resources reach genuine students, and upholds our values of compassion, accountability, and transparency.

Asthma Care
A Mission Close to Our Hearts
We provide essential inhalers to children and adults diagnosed with asthma, ensuring that no one is left without life-saving medication simply because they cannot afford it. This mission is deeply personal to our founder, who once faced the same struggle as a student in Nigeria.
Data Reselling Empowerment Programme
At the Anthony Udokwu Foundation Yahweh, we empower young people and disadvantaged individuals with sustainable skills for financial independence.
Through this programme, we support orphans, persons with disabilities, widows, and students facing hardship by providing:
Professional training in mobile data reselling, airtime sales, and POS money transfers.
Startup funding to help graduates launch their own independent businesses.
Supervision and accountability through our trustees in Nigeria, who ensure every grant is used responsibly.
How It Works
Applicants undergo a needs assessment to confirm their vulnerability and readiness.
A professional data vendor provides online training.
Upon completion, the foundation provides startup capital.
Trustees monitor their progress, ensuring beneficiaries apply funds effectively.
Impact So Far
Over several phases, we have trained and funded multiple beneficiaries, with ₦207,400 disbursed in the latest round.
One participant, a young widow with two children, shared:
“This programme gave me the chance to earn my own income. I can now provide food for my children without begging. I am grateful to the foundation for believing in me.”
Poultry Empowerment Programme
At the Anthony Udokwu Foundation Yahweh, we understand that not every young person or widow wishes to pursue higher education. To providealternative pathways to self-reliance, we established the Poultry Empowerment Programme, which equips beneficiaries with the skills and resources to run small-scale poultry businesses.
Who We Support
This programme is designed for:
-
Widows and single mothers struggling to provide for their families.
-
Orphans and disadvantaged young people who choose not to attend university.
-
Persons with disabilities capable of running poultry rearing with minimal resources.
How It Works
Needs Assessment – Each applicant is assessed to confirm their vulnerability and capacity to manage a poultry project.
Training – Beneficiaries receive professional guidance on poultry farming, including feeding, disease prevention, and basic business management.
Startup Support – Once trained, we provide the initial funding and resources (such as chicks, feed, or housing materials) needed to begin.
Monitoring & Accountability – Our trustees in Nigeria supervise the implementation, ensuring resources are applied correctly and only when support is critical.
Impact So Far
The programme has given widows and disadvantaged youth the ability to generate income, sustain their households, and avoid cycles of dependency.
One widow recently shared:
“Before this support, I had no means to provide for my children. Now I rear chickens and can sell eggs weekly, which pays for food and school supplies. This has restored my dignity and hope.”
