Our History
We operate with a steadfast focus on key areas and activities that resonate with its mission of making a positive impact in the lives of the less privileged.
Gadi Care Foundation
. . . is a non-governmental, non-religious, non-political, and non-profit organization with
a steadfast commitment to uplifting the lives of the less privileged in Nigeria. Established in 2018, the
foundation operates with a mission to create positive change through strategic interventions in education,
healthcare, socio-economic empowerment, and community welfare.
Education
1. School Enrolment Program: Gadi Care Foundation launched the Out-of-School Children Program on January 1st, 2023. The program aimed to address the educational needs of children in Katagum Local Government Area who were not enrolled in school. A total of 200 pupils and students from primary, junior, and secondary schools in Katagum LGA were selected. Among them, 50 were new enrollees, 50 lacked school uniforms, 50 lacked reading and writing materials, and 50 were unable to afford school fees. The new enrollees were promptly enrolled in different schools. The foundation provided school uniforms for those lacking them. Students without reading and writing materials were equipped with the necessary tools, while school fees were covered for those unable to afford them.
2. Scholarship Programs: In 2018 and 2019, Gadi Care Foundation sponsored 10 students each year for JAMB and NECO registration as scholarships. In 2021, Gadi Care Foundation conducted a comprehensive screening examination for 250 applicants from various secondary schools within the Katagum Emirate. Through this rigorous evaluation process, 50 students successfully passed the screening and were granted scholarships to cover their JAMB registration fees.
3. Support for Tertiary Education: In addition to the above, Gadi Care also offers support to qualified candidates who aspire to pursue tertiary education.
Healthcare

2. Healthcare Awareness Campaigns: Raising awareness about health related issues and conducting educational campaigns within communities to promote better health practices.
Socio-Economic Empowerment
