Talitha Cumi Empowerment Foundation is a faith-driven, women-focused organization dedicated to healing and restoring survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Nigeria. We provide life-changing services including safe housing, trauma-informed counseling, skills training, and spiritual care.

Rooted in Christian compassion and global best practices, we align with the WHO’s RESPECT Women framework and uphold the dignity of every woman and girl. We are a movement. A safe haven. A platform for rising. Through safe housing, counseling, skills training, and community outreach, we empower women to live free from abuse.
To raise awareness, prevent abuse, and empower survivors of intimate partner violence.
A society where women and girls are safe, valued, and free from intimate partner violence.
We provide a continuum of care—from immediate crisis intervention to long-term healing and empowerment. Survivors gain access to trauma-informed counseling, vocational skills training, peer mentorship, and temporary safe housing. Our holistic approach ensures that each woman is not only safe but also equipped to live independently and confidently.
Sustainability is at the heart of our model. By embedding services into local communities, training survivors as peer leaders, and building strong partnerships across sectors, we’re creating a support system that can endure beyond project timelines and funding cycles.
In Nigeria, 31% of women aged 15–49 have experienced physical violence, and 9% have suffered sexual violence, mostly at the hands of intimate partners. Cultural stigma, lack of shelter, legal protection, or financial independence often traps women in cycles of abuse.
We provide trauma-informed, faith-rooted, community-based care, addressing not only the immediate need for safety but also long-term empowerment, emotional healing, and social reintegration.
Our work is rooted in Christian values of compassion, justice, and restoration. We believe every woman is created with inherent dignity and deserves to live a life free of fear.
