— About This Program

About the Healthcare Support Program

The Healthcare Support Program eases the financial burden of illness, injury and disability for low-income individuals and families across Nigeria. We work directly with hospitals, clinics and verified suppliers to settle approved costs, rather than handing out cash, so that every naira goes toward genuine care. Whether you are facing an emergency surgery, an ongoing treatment plan, or the cost of a wheelchair or hearing aid, our team reviews each request with dignity and confidentiality.

Medical Bill Relief

Full or partial coverage of approved hospital and clinic bills paid directly to the care provider on your behalf.

Treatment & Medication Costs

Support for surgeries, diagnostic tests, dialysis, chemotherapy and prescribed medicines for qualifying patients.

Assistive Devices & Disability Aids
