Our Story
Hands Of Love Family Foundation was established in April 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown after witnessing the hardship experienced by vulnerable families who lacked access to food, healthcare, and essential support.
Founder Mrs. Gloria Ikhifa Ukagwu began mobilizing support through Facebook and community fundraising initiatives to provide relief assistance. What began as an emergency response effort has evolved into a growing humanitarian organization committed to restoring dignity, strengthening families, empowering communities, and creating lasting change.
