We are a progressive community group comprising of people based in the UK and Ireland with roots in an ancient kingdom called Umuabi which is based in what is now known as South Eastern Nigeria in West Africa!
Living in the diaspora, it is important for people of all ages and walks of life, to learn or re-learn their native language, norms and values. In a very challenging and unpredictable world, community networks, resources, activities and events are also essential to our health, wealth, happiness and longevity.
That's why we offer a range of social support programs to help people engage with their culture and advance in all areas of life. For example, educational, cultural and social events, with interactive networking opportunities, which are open to the public. Some special events are exclusive to our members only.
We also do charity projects back in our homeland in Africa. For instance we recently raised over £7,500 and project managed the extensive refurbishing of a community maternity health centre in Umuabi! We hope to do more work in the maternity centre and in other areas of rural development as well.
We are now launching our Community Magazine and Ecommerce Store in order to raise further funds which will allow us grow our operations, help more people as much as possible and inspire other community groups. This is a Social Enterprise. This means that by supporting us, you can get valuable products and services while helping us make a difference - all at the same time!
