Confluence Amazons is a vision that has been nurtured for nearly two decades. The dream originally belonged to my late mother. Growing up with her — a devoted single mother — she often told my siblings and me:
"In life, there is only one gift you acquire after birth that you can take with you when you die. Everything else you gain will remain on earth. That gift is knowledge and skills. I will guide you and give you the best education before I die because that is the only thing no one can take from you after I'm gone."
Her passing shortly after I completed my first degree and national service marked the beginning of my journey to help others access education. Since then, I have remained a passionate advocate for education and skills development.
Although I lacked the financial means to sponsor students initially, my first major achievement was advocating for visually impaired candidates who were denied university admission due to POST-UTME requirements. I fought to ensure that candidates who had already met the JAMB cut-off marks were not subjected to additional tests. This advocacy began in 2008, and one of the earliest beneficiaries was Mr. John Ifere Obasi, a visually impaired candidate from Abia State who later became a law graduate, was called to the Nigerian Bar, and now serves at the Abia State Ministry of Justice.
Following his success, I expanded my advocacy, pushing universities to exempt blind candidates who had already qualified through JAMB from sitting for POST-UTME. To date, I have helped secure admission for an estimated 1,200 individuals — both physically challenged and non-challenged.
In 2023, I formally incorporated this vision, bringing on board six others who share my mission to serve humanity. Today, Confluence Amazons Charity Foundation has broadened its focus to include:
- Education & Scholarship Advocacy
- Mental Health Support
- Mentorship & Counselling
- Skills Training & Entrepreneurship
- Non-Profit Loan Support
- Pro Bono Civil Legal Services for Indigent Women and Children
We now have seven trustees and a network of global volunteers, all professionals dedicated to advancing our mission of empowering lives through opportunity, dignity, and compassion.
