Who we are?
Atarah Horizon of Hope Foundation was established to transform the lives of children, women, and marginalized communities through education, healthcare, and empowerment. The foundation was inspired by the vision of Miss Akwa Ibom USA, also known as Miss Akisan, a passionate advocate who has dedicated her life to service and social impact. Having lived in the United States and worked with various organizations, Miss Akisan became deeply aware of the challenges faced by underserved communities, particularly in Nigeria, and saw the urgent need for holistic support in areas such as education and healthcare.
In response, she founded Atarah Horizon of Hope Foundation as a lasting solution, not only to address immediate needs, but also to lay a strong foundation for sustainable development. The foundation’s core operations focus on providing free education for children in underprivileged communities, free healthcare services for children and pregnant women with special emphasis on gynecological and maternal care, and empowerment initiatives for women, equipping them with resources and opportunities to thrive. Atarah stands as a beacon of hope, committed to building a future where individuals are empowered through education, healthcare, and self-sufficiency.
