About the Fatima Tajudeen Abbas Foundation
A dynamic force for positive change, breaking cycles of poverty and marginalization across Nigeria.
Who We Are
A Dynamic Non-Profit Committed to Lasting Change
The Fatima Tajudeen Abbas Foundation (FATTAF) is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty and marginalization through comprehensive, community-based programs.
We focus on five interconnected pillars: education, healthcare, women's empowerment, livelihood enhancement, and youth skill acquisition. Our work spans selected states in Northern Nigeria — Kano, Kaduna, and Katsina — and Southern Nigeria — Rivers, Delta, and Bayelsa — reaching both urban and rural communities.
Through data-driven approaches, strategic partnerships, and community engagement, we create sustainable solutions that empower individuals and transform communities for generations to come.
