At YIFE Global Foundation, our projects are aimed towards providing long-term, sustainable solutions to the many challenges faced by many Nigerians today.
Highlights of Project
EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMMES
YIFE GLOBAL had in the past empowered, in and out of school youths, women and widows in soap/disinfectant making and bakery with the aim of assisting them gain social, entrepreneurial and developmental skills through trainings, and at the end equip them to practice the skills acquired. The programs effectively gave the participants (about 20) a life line in empowering them to be self-reliant, gainfully employed and provide more for their dependents and above all decongest the unemployed group of the society.

FREE HEALTH CHECK PROGRAMMES
Many people in our society had died in silence and many more are also trailing the same path due to lack of access to adequate medical facilities. Lots of the people in our society do not have enough to feed themselves, as studies have shown that about 70% of Nigerians live on <$1.60 daily. Now if the majority cannot even feed themselves, how then can they visit a health center? Even if they can still afford to go to the health center, but cannot afford purchase the prescribed drugs necessary to treat the ailments?
To this end, YIFE GLOBAL stood to relief many of the challenges by organizing free health check programs at different locations of Ogun State, example of which includes Oru and Falafomu both in Ijebu-Igbo.
During these Free Health Check exercise, at the centers, apart from providing medical personnel i.e. doctors and nurses at these venues, also gave out drugs freely to participants based on the recommendation of the Doctors. The Centers also gave health talks on HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases among other things and distributes male and female condoms free as a way of educating people to be conscious of the deadly virus.

It is a general belief that no government or organization can satisfy the various needs of the people. Hence the need for organizations, individuals and NGOs like YIFE GLOBAL to assist in United States of America and African countries.
