A Legacy of Love, Learning, and Leadership: The Story of The Peter and Margaret Nwomeh Foundation
In the heart of Ozalla, Enugu State, Nigeria, The Peter and Margaret Nwomeh Foundation (PNF) is a beacon of hope and transformation. Established in 2014 as The Peter Nwomeh Foundation, the organization was inspired by the vision and values of Peter Nwomeh, a dedicated educator who championed education as a tool for personal and community upliftment. Peter’s life was marked by his tireless efforts to support others in their pursuit of knowledge, providing resources and mentorship to help individuals achieve their dreams.
Peter’s wife, Margaret, shared this passion for service. Her compassion, strength, and devotion to others were central to the legacy they built together. To honor their shared vision, the Foundation expanded in 2017 with the establishment of The Peter Nwomeh Foundation USA (PNFUSA), which connected global resources to local needs. Following Margaret’s passing in 2024, both organizations were renamed The Peter and Margaret Nwomeh Foundation (PNF) and The Peter and Margaret Nwomeh Foundation USA (PNFUSA) to celebrate her invaluable contributions.
Today, the Foundation proudly serves Ozalla, Obe, and surrounding communities across Nkanu and Enugu State, addressing local needs and fostering a culture of opportunity, empowerment, and development.
