What is CBA FOUNDATION?

The CBA Foundation , registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ( CAC/IT/N0 71962) is a registered charity working with widows & most vulnerable children in Nigeria.

We work to support widows, offer them HOPE through various initiatives, free their most vulnerable children from lives of pain, abuse, poverty and darkness.

Some widows are abandoned by families, stripped off their belongings with no source of livelihood. Living on the streets, widows & children are exposed to horrendous physical and sexual abuse. For the kids, those who survive are left to fend for themselves, with no promise of a safe future. They are forced to work from as young as five years of age to earn money for food and so cannot go to school. CBA Foundation, works to free them from child labour.

CBA Foundation is focused on projects with the sole intention to reach out to those most forgotten; offering protection, healthcare, nutrition, education, rehabilitation and a family for life.
