COVID-19 Pandemic Response

Location: Lagos, Nigeria. 2020

Most recent estimates suggest that roughly half of the Nigerian population live on about $3 per day. The financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown thus affected a significant proportion of the population. MKF collaborated with local organizations (listed below) who were actively involved in relief efforts to provide food supplies, facemasks, sanitizers, soap, as well as general health education, in Lagos and Nasarawa States. Through the generous contributions of our partners, we raised $2670 towards this cause and supported 384 families. Enjoy the video summary and slideshow.

Feed the Elderly Christmas Initiative

Location, Nasarawa, Nigeria, 2021.

During the 2021 holiday season, we had the wonderful opportunity to hold a social, medical and dental drive for elderly community in Nasarawa, Nigeria. We provided food items, clothing, basic preventive medical screenings, and dental services (cleanings and cavity fillings) to 119 individuals. This is a population that is often overlooked, and we are grateful for the opportunity to make an impact.
