Our Focus on Persons with Disabilities: We focus so much on Persons with Disabilities because they are more likely to die earlier, have poorer health conditions and are more limited in their ability to perform their Activities of Daily Living, than the public.
Persons with Disabilities always face hinderances in their ability to participate on equal terms as members of the society. Majority of Persons with Disabilities live in conditions of poverty. All over the world, their fundamental human rights as equal members of the society are always violated. Children with Disabilities, as well, do not receive their rights as children. They should enjoy equal human rights as other children.

Origin of Emeron Foundation: Dr. Emmanuel Nkwogu, as a physician had been providing low-cost healthcare services to the poor communities of Ogbaku and its environs in Imo State of Nigeria in the 1980s-90s. In line with that, he provided services free-of-charge to indigent patients. He always accepted patients without considering their ability to pay. This was a written-down policy. When he came to the United States of America and saw the opportunities that abound, he knew that he could help his poor communities in Nigeria more. So, he incorporated the Emeron Foundation as a Not-for-profit healthcare organization, both in the USA and Nigeria, to help him continue his humanitarian services. EMERON is an acronym for Emmanuel Eronini Obisike Nkwogu. He incorporated Emeron Foundation in the United States of America as Emeron Foundation USA Inc.
OUR IMPACT: We have made such impact that we frequently receive phone calls from people all over Imo State of Nigeria, asking for when we could donate mobility aids to them.
