about us

Lumara Foundation

Lumara — a name born from Lumen (light) and Amara (grace) — reflects our mission to bring hope and dignity to mothers and newborns. Founded to address critical gaps in maternal and neonatal health, we serve underprivileged communities with compassion and measurable impact.

We were born out of the recognition that too many women and children in Nigeria face preventable challenges during pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. From limited access to healthcare and family planning, to social stigma and poverty, these barriers often lead to heartbreaking outcomes. Lumara exists to break those barriers.

our mission

To provide comprehensive maternal and newborn support through education, healthcare, and advocacy — ensuring that every mother and child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive.

our vision

We envision a future where no child is born into preventable suffering and no mother is left behind — a world where young women are supported, children are protected, and every birth marks the beginning of a life filled with dignity, hope, and possibility.
