Programmes
What the foundation does
Six initiatives carry the foundation's work across Nigeria and its home community in Minnesota. Together they address hunger, schooling, skills, enterprise, and health.
- 01
Food Support Initiative
Providing essential food items to vulnerable families, widows, children, and underserved communities to combat hunger and malnutrition.
- 02
Educational Support & Digital Literacy Scheme
Supporting students with learning materials and scholarships, and introducing artificial intelligence training to prepare them for the digital economy.
- 03
Vocational Skill Training & Empowerment
Equipping youths and women with practical skills such as tailoring, catering, and plumbing — alongside startup support to promote entrepreneurship.
- 04
Financial Support for Businesses
Providing grants, seed funding, and business support services to help small businesses grow and thrive.
- 05
Scholarship Fund Program
Offering financial assistance to bright but underprivileged students across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
- 06
Healthcare Support Initiative
Delivering medical outreaches, free health screenings, medications, and health awareness programs to underserved communities.
Support that reaches households
The food support and scholarship initiatives are delivered directly to families, widows, children, and students in the communities the foundation serves. Provisions and school assistance are handed over at community distributions run by WEWAD volunteers.
The scholarship fund extends across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, and the educational support scheme adds learning materials and digital literacy training — including introductory artificial intelligence training — so that students are prepared for the work available to them.
Health outreach in the community
The healthcare support initiative brings medical outreaches, free health screenings, medications, and health awareness programmes to underserved communities. Outreaches are run in partnership with local clinics and health providers rather than from a facility of the foundation's own.

Skills and enterprise
Vocational training equips youths and women with practical trades — tailoring, catering, plumbing, and others — and pairs the training with startup support so that a new skill can become a livelihood.
Alongside it, the foundation provides grants, seed funding, and business support services to help small businesses grow. The intent across both is self-reliance rather than recurring relief.
