Driving Real Impact
Discover the initiatives and programs we deploy to improve healthcare, education, and empower local communities.
Through community engagement, we promote healthy practices 
and improve access to quality care, 
creating healthier, resilient communities.Village Health Worker Project
Mwada-Gana Foundation is collaborating with the Women's Refugee Commission and Borno State Primary Health Care Development Agency in implementing a Village Health Worker Project (VHW) aimed at increasing access to Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH-N) services.
The overall goal is to improve family health, facility utilization and increase access to RMNCAH-N. Trained village health workers act as the critical last-mile connection, identifying risk, building trust, making referrals, and following up after delivery.
- Improves family health and facility utilization
- Increases access to RMNCAH-N services
- Builds trust between communities and the formal health system
Community Management of Childhood Illnesses (ICCM)
ICCM brings treatment for common childhood illnesses — malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea — directly to the village. Facility-based care alone does not provide adequate access to treatment for children in remote areas or humanitarian settings. ICCM bridges that gap.
- Reduces under-5 mortality
- Brings treatment closer to home
- Bridges the gap in access to care in humanitarian and remote settings
- Community health workers identify and treat illness on the spot
Reproductive & Maternal Health (RMNCAH-N)
Nigeria accounts for nearly 29% of global maternal deaths, with complications like postpartum haemorrhage and eclampsia often becoming death sentences in rural Borno State due to distant or under-resourced facilities. MGF exists to ensure no woman, child, or adolescent is left behind.
We expand access to quality healthcare by strengthening reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent, and nutrition (RMNCAN) services. Our community-based approaches integrate health system strengthening with development through:
- Livelihood support, safe spaces, and empowerment for women and girls
- Prevention and response to gender-based violence
- Deployment of skilled birth attendants
- Community engagement promoting positive health-seeking behaviours
Skill Acquisition & Economic Empowerment
In addition to medical relief, true community health is deeply tied to economic resilience. The humanitarian crisis in Borno State has left many women, young mothers, and youth without stable sources of income or livelihood.
MGF provides vocational training in high-demand trades, financial literacy training, and seed funding support to help women and youth establish self-reliant livelihoods, build financial security, and support their families' nutritional and medical needs.
- Vocational training in tailoring, soap making, and local crafts
- Basic business education and financial literacy training
- Micro-grant support and business tools for startup businesses
- Support networks for young mothers to build sustainable livelihoods
2,000 Children Reached
In a span of months, MGF treated and provided access to health care for 2,000 children under 5 years old from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds affected by the humanitarian crisis in Borno State.
Three local government areas covered: Maiduguri, Jere and Konduga.
