The Amimary & Belope Foundation was established in 2025 by Maria Auxiliadora Belope Nguema — a fashion entrepreneur and mother of two daughters — with a clear purpose: to stand beside single mothers and orphaned children who need support, not charity. With operations in Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Gambia, Kenya and Spain, we provide real, practical programs that change lives.
Our mission is to support single mothers and orphaned children in Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Gambia, Kenya and Spain — providing financial assistance, employment training, childcare support, and a community of dignity and empowerment.
Our vision is a world where every single mother and orphaned child has access to resources, opportunities and community they need to thrive — regardless of where they live or what challenges they face.
Our values are dignity, empowerment, community, and integrity. We believe every person deserves to be treated with respect and given the tools to build a better life for themselves and their children.

She started her career in fashion at age 18, working for Deportes Halcon in Madrid, then Bershka (Inditex), and later a sportswear factory. In 2019, she founded Amimary Boutique in Douala, Cameroon, expanding to Gambia and Malabo. Inspired by her daughters Anabel and Mirabel, she created the Foundation to ensure no mother or child is left behind.
