Our Story

Founder portrait

Hands Of Love Family Foundation was established in April 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown after witnessing the suffering of vulnerable families struggling to meet basic needs.

Founder Mrs. Gloria Ikhifa Ukagwu began mobilizing support through Facebook and online fundraising initiatives to provide food assistance and emergency relief to families affected by the economic impact of the pandemic.

What started as a compassionate response to a crisis has grown into a humanitarian organization dedicated to restoring hope, empowering communities, supporting vulnerable populations, and creating lasting change.
