EKAIMA was started by children who wanted to continue their parents’ lifelong habit of helping others.
Their parents, Chief and Mrs Mmah, were ordinary people who quietly fed the hungry, paid school fees for poor children, and shared whatever they had. When they passed away, their children promised: “We will keep doing what you did.”
So, in 2020, they created EKAIMA (an IBIBIO name meaning "Mother of Love").
What we do today:
- Provide health succour for the less privileged (Basic health needs, Surgeries and medication)
- Feed thousands of school children hot meals
- Give emergency food to families in crisis
- Train women and youth in skills + give them start-up money
- Pay school fees for bright but poor students
Everything we do carries our parents' love and values: treat people with dignity, give a hand up (not just a handout), and make sure help lasts.
EKAIMA is not just an NGO. It is a family keeping a promise. It is a community keeping hope alive. Good deeds should never die.
With EKAIMA, they never will.
Join us. Support us. Be part of the story. Because love, like hunger, should never be forgotten.
