Our Story

From a Vision
to Lasting Impact

"When we started, we had nothing but faith and a burning desire to make a difference. Today, every well we dig, every child we feed, every scholarship we give — it is proof that compassion, when organized, can move mountains."

— Mrs Shifau Abdulkareem, Founder & Executive Director

With the Support of my husband Mr. Abdul Kareem L. Abdulaziz, Mrs Shifau Abdulkareem started charity and humanitarian services since the year 2012, and because the big hearts do not know the limits of giving, the couple perserved tirelessly to doo everything in their power to achieve the satisfaction of God by helping orphaned children, disabled and other needy. The idea of creating a charitable association has been going on for years. The promised day was when Mr. George Abou Diwan, the husband's partner in some business in Nigeria , was exchanging views and daily life with Abdulkareem, who came to mention his wife and how good, humble, and dedicated she is in her duties and care to her family and her large family of orphaned children. Then aswer came first and here it was the turning point. The transformation of Gods will and establishment of a charitable association:
