About AUG Foundation
The Abdulhafiz Umar Gusau (AUG) Foundation is a humanitarian and community-development organisation focused on needs-based assistance. Its work supports students, patients, widows, orphans, women, youths, persons with disabilities, vulnerable households and communities.
Service Built Around Real Needs.
To improve lives through compassionate, needs-based interventions that expand access to education, healthcare, livelihoods, food security, shelter and essential community support.
How We Work
The Foundation combines direct assistance with community-based coordination. Where appropriate, traditional institutions, emirate councils, district heads and grassroots stakeholders help identify genuine needs and support transparent distribution to beneficiaries. Interventions are designed around specific community and individual needs rather than a single fixed programme model.
Greater Access. Stronger Lives.
Communities in which vulnerable people have greater access to opportunity, dignity, essential services and the support needed to build more secure and productive lives.
Dignity and Opportunity, Made More Accessible.
Programmes
One Foundation. Many Forms of Assistance.
Education, healthcare, food security, livelihoods, family welfare, housing, water and community infrastructure form the core of the Foundation’s documented work.
