EDUCATION & SCHOARSHIPS - WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY CONTINUED TO AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS AT ALL LEVELS OF ACADEMIC PURSUIT. WHILE ALL CHILDREN ARE NOT ENDOWED WITH THE TALENT FOR UNIVERSITY DEGREES, WE PROVIDE TRAINING IN OTHER SKILLS. OUR SKILLS TRAINING IS NOW DONE AT THE "UMAUNWAKU SKILLS ACQUISISTION AND EMPOERMENT CENTER" (USAEC) IN OHAJI. TODAY, WE HAVE GRADUATES FROM UNIVERSITIES, NURSING SCHOOLS, AND SKILLED PROGRAMS. WE HAVE SUCCESFULLY MANAGED OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM BECAUSE WE HAVE TRUSTED COORDINATORS, LIKE RV.FR. BASIL NZE, EZE CHIGBU IKWULAGU AND HIS WIFE, UGOEZE VICTORIA IKWUKAGU. AS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF OUR SUCCESSES IN THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM, HERE IS A TESTIMONIAL FROM ONE OF OUR BENEFICIARIES: SHE WRITES, "NOTE OF APPRECIATION. DR, IT'S WITH UTMOST SINCERITY THAT I WRITE THIS NOTE OF APPRECIATION TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE, FOR YOUR KINDHEARTED ASSISTANCE IN THE OFFER OF SCHOLARSHIPS TO MY CHILDREN SINCE AFTER THE DEMISE OF THEIR LATE FATHER, MY HUSBAND. I AM OVERWHELMED WITH THIS OFFER, THAT I LACK ADEQUATE WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW I FELL AND THE CHILDREN ALSO. THE LORD ALMIGHTY SHALL REWARD AND REPLENISH YOU AND YOUR WIFE FOR THIS KIND GESTURE, NOT ONLY FOR MY CHILDREN, BUT ALSO TO OTHER CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY. IN THE SAME VEIN, I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO EZE CHIGBU IKWULAGU AND UGOEZE VICTORIA IKWULAGU FOR THEIR ABLE CO-ORDINATION IN SEEING THROUGH. FROM LADY OLUCHI NDUKWE UMOGARAKWE" USAEC PROVIDES FREE COMPUTER TRAINING FOR ITS STUDENTS. ABOUT TWO THOUSAND CANDIDDATES WENT THROUGH THE FIRST PHASE OF TRAINING IN SEWING AND TAILORING, ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, FARMING, AND CATERING/BAKERY IN 2024. THE CARPENTRY, WELDING, ELECTRICAL AND UNISEX HAIR SALONS ARE ALSO BUSY AND ACCEPTING CANDIDATES FOR TRAINING IN THOSE SKILLS. THE UNISEX HAIR SALONS HAVE SEEN REMARKABLE GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF MEN AND WOMEN SEEKING THEIR SERVICES. THE SEWING AND TAILORING DEPARTMENT ARE VERY BUSY PRODUCING QUALITY SERVICE FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. THROUGH AIMS COOPERATIVE, AFRICAN PRIMARY HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS FARMING AND EDUCATION IN THE RURAL COMMUNITIES IN ABIA STATE.

HEALTH CARE - OUR HEALTHCARE PROGRAM HAS A TWO-PRONG APPROACH: GRANTS/FEEDING AND PATIENT FINANCIAL SUPPORT. SMALL BUSINESSES ARE MOST IMPACTED BY THE VERY WEAK CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS. WE AWARDED GRANTS TO SUCH SMALL BUSINESSES TO HELP MAINTAIN THEM SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUSTAIN THE FAMILIES WHO DEPEND ON THE MEAGER PROFITS FOR THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVING. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO BUSINESS AND ARE STRUGGLING TO FEED THE FAMILY MOSTLY DURING THE FESTIVE TIMES, WE GIVE RICE AND INGREDIENTS TO COOK AND FEED THE CHILDREN. IN DECEMBER 2024, WE PROVIDED FOR ABOUT 2,500 FAMILITES IN IMO AND ABIA STATES FOR A TOTAL OF AT LEAST 10,000 PEOPLE. AFRICAN PRIMARY HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION ALSO FUNDED COST OF MEDICAL TREATMENTS FOR THOSE WHO SOUGHT OUR HELP.
