MKF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to optimize healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings, as well as foster youth empowerment through scholarship. We have been most active in Nigeria, Ghana and IL. We partner with local organizations to provide funding for the critical hours of trauma care, educate communities on life-saving first aid measures, build infrastructure in elementary schools, conduct health screenings for common medical conditions, conduct HIV screening and link patient to care, provide food and other basic needs to underserved communities and much more.
Some highlights of our initiatives from 2023 include:
– Our CPR and accident resuscitation education (CARE) initiative held 4 events and trained 288 community members. The project is ongoing.
– Our trauma care funding which provides funds for the first 24 hours of accident victims supported 56 beneficiaries in 10 hospitals with a 100% survival rate
– For World AIDS day, we tested 150 people with 2 newly diagnosed patients who were enrolled into care. We also provided medical screenings for common medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes
– Our community relief program provided food items and clothing to 60 households. Medical screenings were also conducted.
Look forward to seeing you on April 23, 2024!
