ImaBridge Africa is a faith-based charity dedicated to building transformational relationships between people from dissimilar communities, the privileged and the underprivileged. We are called to aid the African rural poor in developing skills, knowledge, attitudes and experience for self-reliance and the capacity to work together to solve their leading problems. Our mission is to provide healthcare, clean water, entrepreneurial development and education to communities in need.
IBA’s mission is to make the world a better place by cultivating means of self-sustainability and transformational relationships between people of dissimilar religious communities. We foster building bridges of love beyond the limitations of National, , ethnic, and Political boundaries, through Education, Healthcare, Drinking Water, and Entrepreneurial Development.
“It is not the magnitude of our actions that matters, but the love that we put into them… and that our successes do not depend on doing great things, but in doing little things with great love.” – Mother Teresa.
While visiting villages in Owut Uta, we came across this little cherub. Her name is Blessing. She and her four siblings became orphans when they lost their Mother back in July. ImaBridge Africa sent them to the hospital to receive wellness check ups. The children are now living with their extended relatives. May God continue to protect them.
IBA develops programs focusing on literacy, vocational training, and access to educational materials. Over 10,000 students have benefited from IBA’s educational initiatives, with over 500 graduating from universities and colleges with scholarships. IBA provides computers and bicycles to students who walk long distances to attend school, supporting their academic journey. IBA has also partnered with local schools to give scholarships and educational opportunities for children and youth, especially young girls who are often left behind in educational systems.

In 2008, at the request of one of the college students to whom he ministered, Fr Godwin cooked an authentic Nigerian dish for his parishioners. This little dinner generated funds that inspired five people to travel with him to Nigeria to distribute about $6000 in donations that were raised for scholarships.

Clean water in proximity helps to alleviate child labor problems, where children from 7 years of age must walk to streams and rivers close to 4 to 5 miles to fetch contaminated water, a process they often repeat daily before and after school hours. Clean water also saves them from waterborne diseases and childhood mortality.
We are a passionate team driven by purpose and deeply committed to our mission. We seek understanding, build trust and create meaning in our work together.
