Zuciyar Havillah—meaning The Heart of Havillah—was founded in loving memory of Azumi Habu Buba (1960–2010), whose life embodied resilience, compassion, and transformation. She later adopted the name Havillah to reflect a renewed identity grounded in peace, purpose, and spiritual healing. Deeply moved by the hidden struggles of widows and orphans, she envisioned community initiatives that restore dignity, empowerment, and belonging. Though she passed away from breast cancer, her vision endured and was rekindled on December 19, 2023, leading to the foundation’s formal establishment in 2026 to support vulnerable widows—particularly those committed to educating their children. The foundation also aims to provide HIV/AIDS support to affected families, further enhancing its role in women empowerment. Inspired by lived experience and the memoir Laraba: A Memoir of Scars and Solace, whose proceeds help seed the work, Zuciyar Havillah continues her legacy of love, healing, and renewal.
