About Us
The Ikenna & Jenn Ukwa Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals and families in underserved communities across Nigeria.
Founded by Hon. Ikenna Nicolas Ukwa and Mrs. Jennifer Ukwa, the foundation was born out of a shared vision — to build stronger communities by addressing two of society’s most pressing needs: accessible healthcare and quality education.
Our Story
The foundation’s story began with the founders’ desire to give back to the society that shaped them. Having witnessed the struggles of families who cannot afford basic medical care or educational materials, Hon. Ikenna and Jennifer Ukwa decided to act.
What started as a small gesture of compassion has grown into a structured platform that organizes free medical outreaches, school support programs, and community empowerment initiatives. Today, the Ikenna & Jenn Ukwa Foundation has become a beacon of hope for many across local communities in Nigeria.
