Her Legacy Lives On
Helping vulnerable youth, widows and the less privileged build independent, dignified lives.
The Ezinne Regina Okeigbo Foundation carries on a mother's care through education, skills, economic opportunity and compassionate support.
In loving memory
Ezinne Regina Okeigbo
1934 – 2022
Da Regy, as she was fondly called, lost her parents as a child and had no formal schooling before marriage. She went back to school as a grown woman and earned her First School Leaving Certificate in 1982.
After her husband died she provided for her whole family for 39 years as a farmer, trader and seamstress, and she gave freely to anyone in need. Her daughter-in-law founded this foundation to carry that on.
