FOUNDATION

The Uwakah Memorial Medical Foundation (UMMF) was incorporated in San Francisco, California in 2006 as a 501c(3) corporation.

MISSION

The mission, and sole purpose, of the Uwakah Memorial Medical Foundation is to procure funds and use those funds to build and operate a medical clinic in the village of Akoli-Imenyi, Abia State, Nigeria.

As different as we may be from one another, all of us share the same desires and needs. We wish to live free from persecution and harm, live in safe and healthy environments with dignity and respect, and have access to competent health care. This is no less true for millions of Nigerians, too many of whom are born into circumstances of poverty, corruption, and ignorance.

Those of us who form the Uwakah Memorial Medical Foundation have taken it upon ourselves to do all that we can to provide the village of Akoli-Imenyi with a modern medical facility that will be available to every man, woman. and child in the village­, not just the precious few who have been blessed with the means to engage the doctor of their choice.

It is the mission of the Uwakah Memorial Medical Foundation to bring comprehensive, excellent medical care to every single person in Akoli-Imenyi, and surrounding areas, in need of help. The Uwakah Memorial Medical facility will welcome each and every patient, regardless of ability to pay. Absolutely no one will be turned away. We believe, without a doubt, our goal is just, the right thing to do, and, although a big challenge, it is a challenge we commit to achieving.
