Our goal is to promote a healthy Mind and Body to women and youth in Lafiaji community. Lagos State. To put our mission into action, the foundation is holding a full health check up, screening and symposium to instill awareness on BREAST/CERVICAL CANCER.

As an advocate for children we always want the best for them, So protecting the children’s Right to good health Means also protecting their mothers health. It has been estimated that lots of mothers in Nigeria are dying due to lack of awareness on medical screening such as BREAST/CERVICAL CANCER. The world health Organization has linked various health conditions during pregnancy to low birth weight and impaired brain development etc.

A growing body of research affirming the positive relationship between women’s rights to good health and children’s right to good health for their survival and he fact that healthy mothers create healthy homes and healthy children.
