We are making a difference
And tackling real issues

The ECN Initiative

The Emmanuel Chukwuma Nnama Foundation is a Nigerian charity founded in the memory of the late Dr. Nnama, and in the spirit of his legacy. Our focus is the Nigerian child who is at a dire economic disadvantage, and our purpose is to identify these children and source funding to aid them, particularly in the areas of healthcare and education. As the main source for donations to us, we look to the young Nigerian professional with the will to offer the ease of means to help give these children better and healthier lives.

Sir Emmanuel Chukwuma Nnama (The Owelle of Nibo)


He was a philanthropist in every sense of the word. He had a passion for excellence and helping his community rise above various challenges. The ECN Foundation was founded in his spirit, to carry on his legacy.
It is a well-known fact that rural communities are challenged in accessing basic financial resources, educational and even information required for general upkeep, social and economic development.

It has been identified that the government alone cannot bridge the gap between the urban settings and the rural areas. The mission of this foundation is to help bridge this gap by creating an adequate and efficient platform.

Goals of the ECN Initaitive

  • Provide basic learning opportunities for rural children facilitated by provision of necessary tools and scholarship programs.
  • Give the rural child the chance to be forward looking and have a vision with no limits by providing mentorship.
  • Provide valuable job training for rural men and women, enabling them to escape poverty and build a brighter future for their family.
  • Develop health education and disease prevention programs all over the rural areas in focus, thereby helping to create healthier and health conscious communities.
