Our Story

Serving Damaturu & Surrounding Communities With Compassion

Ummah Less Privileged, Orphans & Widows Charity Foundation (ULPO & WCF) is a registered community-based organization founded to respond to the everyday struggles of orphans, widows, and vulnerable families in Yobe State, North-East Nigeria.

Our team works directly inside communities — conducting household visits, running vocational training programs, distributing relief and learning materials, and advocating for the rights of the people we serve. We partner with local organizations, including GISCOR and the TAIMAKO Community Development Initiative, to extend our reach and deepen our impact.
