A Journey of Hope: Empowering Pregnant Women in Nigeria
At Favoured Women & Baby Outreach, we believe every pregnant woman deserves to experience motherhood with dignity, support, and the assurance that she is not alone. In Nigeria, where many women face significant financial and emotional challenges during pregnancy, our mission is to provide a safe space where love, faith, and care intersect, transforming lives and strengthening communities.
What We Do
Our outreach is built on the belief that every woman deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of her financial status. Here’s how we support pregnant women and their families:
Covering All Medical Expenses
From prenatal care to delivery, we pay in full - all hospital expenses, ensuring that no woman is turned away due to the inability to pay. We also fund essential scans and other medical tests, giving women the vital healthcare services they need to stay healthy during pregnancy.Providing Housing Support
For women who are homeless or in unsafe living conditions, we offer housing assistance. Our goal is to provide a stable environment where women can rest, recover, and prepare for the arrival of their babies, free from the stresses of uncertainty.Maternity and Baby Supplies
Each woman we support receives essential maternity care, from vitamins to clothing. We also provide baby supplies, including diapers, clothes, and baby food, so mothers can focus on the joy of welcoming their little ones instead of worrying about financial stress.Monthly Prayer and Emotional Support
We believe in the power of prayer and community. Each month, we come together in prayer, asking for God's guidance and strength for these mothers-to-be. This emotional and spiritual support is as important as any material assistance we provide, offering women the hope and encouragement they need to face each day with confidence.Christmas Food Hampers
During the holiday season, we bring joy and comfort by gifting food hampers to each family we support. This small gesture helps ease the burden on families and reminds them that they are not alone during this special time.
Pregnancy can be one of the most beautiful and life-changing experiences for a woman, but for many in Nigeria, it also comes with immense struggles. Inadequate access to healthcare, financial barriers, and the absence of a supportive environment can make the journey to motherhood overwhelming and even dangerous.
We are here to change that. At Favoured Women & Baby Outreach, we provide compassionate care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of pregnant women. We are not just offering aid; we are walking alongside each woman, empowering her through the most challenging moments of her life.

Through this work, we have witnessed both moments of hope and heartbreaking tragedy. We’ve seen mothers unknowingly carry their deceased babies for days due to a lack of access to proper medical care. We’ve mourned the loss of a baby at birth because the mother was malnourished and unable to get the support she needed. These preventable tragedies fuel our passion and determination to continue this work, offering not just financial support, but also prayers, care, and a loving hand to hold.
As someone with a medical background, I have always felt a deep calling to provide comprehensive care for these mothers, but our ultimate vision goes beyond that. We are working tirelessly towards establishing a fully equipped birthing center where these women can safely give birth, without the fear of being turned away or burdened by the cost. This birthing center will be a sanctuary, offering quality, compassionate care to women who have nowhere else to turn. As a registered charity in Nigeria, Favoured Women and Baby Outreach is committed to restoring hope and dignity to these families, but the need continues to grow, and we cannot do it alone.
In addition to our medical and financial support, we also extend our care to homeless pregnant mothers. We cover their medical bills, help with rent, and provide essentials such as cookers and mattresses to help them rebuild their lives. Each year, we host a special Christmas celebration, providing food hampers to bring joy and warmth to these women and their families during the festive season.
This journey has been one of immense challenges, but also deep fulfillment. With your help, we can continue to expand our reach, bring hope to more mothers and babies in need, and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to give birth with dignity, care, and love. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
In 2018, during a visit to Nigeria, I encountered a mother whose story would forever change the course of my life. She had been living in a hospital for three months with her newborn baby, unable to pay her medical bills. Forced to sleep on the cold, hard floor of the ward, she waited in anguish for a discharge she could not afford, while her baby remained in the hospital, vulnerable and in need of care. Her eyes, filled with worry and despair, haunted me. In that moment, I knew I couldn’t walk away. I paid her bill, bought baby essentials, and provided food for both her and her baby so they could leave the hospital and return home with dignity.
That encounter became the catalyst for the creation of Favoured Women and Baby Outreach, a charity I founded, centered on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and rooted in love and compassion. Based in Nigeria, our outreach has since touched the lives of over 90 pregnant women and their babies. We assist with medical bills, scans, antenatal care, medications, circumcision, and baby essentials. Many of the women we help have faced unimaginable hardships—survivors of rape, domestic abuse, deep trauma, and extreme poverty. Some are as young as 14, abandoned and alone, with no one to turn to in their time of need.
