Our strategies are rooted in sustainability, community involvement, and evidence-based practices. We work directly with local communities to understand their unique needs and challenges, ensuring our programs are tailored to provide the most effective support. Through partnerships with healthcare providers, agricultural experts, and other NGOs, we maximize our impact and foster a network of care and support.
The Oluwafemi Matthew Foundation was founded in response to the urgent need for nutritional support in Lagos’s underserved communities.
Witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of malnutrition on children and mothers, our founder, Oluwafemi Matthew, was inspired to take action. What began as a small initiative to provide meals to children in a local village has grown into a comprehensive foundation dedicated to addressing the root causes of food insecurity and malnutrition.
Through relentless dedication and community support, we have expanded our reach and impact. Our programs now include child nutrition initiatives, maternal health support, food security projects, skills training, and emergency relief efforts. Each step of our journey has been driven by a deep commitment to creating lasting change and a brighter future for the people of Lagos.
We are proud of our achievements and grateful for the support of our partners, donors, and volunteers who make our work possible.
Together, we are building a stronger, healthier Lagos, one community at a time.
