OUR STORY
Bridging the gap between vulnerability and strength
Asma’u and Hassan Foundation is an initiative established on the base of love for family and humanity. Asma’u and Hassan are siblings to Hussaina; the founder of the foundation, whom are all children of Engr. A Asule, The Executive Governor of Nasarawa state. After the unfortunate demise of Asma’u and Hassan, Hussaina, who happens to be a twin to the late Hassan found her world in shambles. The demise of her siblings left a void that could never be filled. After a long period of grieving and healing, Hussaina felt the only thing that could compensate her pain was to support, love and come to the aid of orphans, youths, widows and vulnerable people in the society; as kindness and generosity have always been a major stake in the lives of both Hussaina and her late siblings. The only way to keep the names of Hassan and Asma’u alive is to start a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to touching the lives of people
