Philanthropist and founder of Zafama Helping Hands Foundation, Hauwa Abdul-Dimka, turned her 50th birthday into a celebration of compassion, gifting over 400 schoolchildren from paramilitary schools and orphanages with school bags and learning accessories.
The Abuja event, filled with music, dance, and cultural displays, drew family, friends, and well-wishers who hailed Hauwa’s decades-long commitment to supporting education, healthcare, and the less privileged.
“Celebrating with the less privileged is a family tradition,” Hauwa said, as her husband, Usman Abdul-Dimka, affirmed that service to humanity brings their family “happiness, fulfillment, and joy.”
Guests described the milestone celebration as a fitting tribute to a woman whose life’s work has touched thousands.
