Message from the Founder

I was born and bred in Nigeria, and grew up in a modest family. I was only able to achieve my medical education thanks to the financial and moral support from my family and a few friends in the community. My survival would not have been possible without them.

Today, many of the youth in my communities back home in Nigeria find themselves in situations far less appealing than I was in at their age. They see a very grim future ahead of themselves.

I began lending my helping hand to my immediate family members to assist them in achieving education. With time, through my sister, who at the time was the principal of Maria Regina Secondary School in Nnewi, Nigeria, I became aware of several intelligent students whose futures were threatened by poverty, so I absorbed them into my philanthropic heart.

While the number of students I helped at that school grew, I discovered more of similar situations in other communities, so I extended a helping hand to them as well.

Eventually, I made the decision to start a foundation. The initial aim? To enable me to span out and absorb more children under the program. And it has been a pleasurable adventure. However, in addition to that, I plan for this foundation to alleviate the suffering of the many impoverished individuals that plague my communities back home.
