In Nigeria Persons with Disabilities (especially, Physical Impairment or Mobility Problems), in most cases are automatically bed-ridden because they have no access to Mobility Aids. There are no social services at any level of the goverments (Federal, State nor Local). Thus, they live in poverty. And they are unable to accomplish their Activities of Daily Living (ADL), such as moving in and out of the toilet, bathroom, bed, chair or transfer from one position to another. Emeron Foundation works to reduce suffering, and enable Persons with Disabilities live with Dignity. With your help we can provide them with Wheelchairs, Walkers, Crutches, etc. Please, donate whatever you can, to help Emeron Foundation help the needy.
Origin of Emeron Foundation: Dr. Emmanuel Nkwogu, as a physician had been providing low-cost healthcare services to the rural and poor communities of Ogbaku and its environs in Imo State of Nigeria in the 1980s-90s. In line with that, he provided healthcare 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.

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.
Despite the fact that Nigeria has one of the fastest growing populations in the world, health indicators in Nigeria are one of the worst, even in Africa. Cooperation and collaboration are needed for improving health conditions in Nigeria. Persons with Disabilities are at the center of the United Nations 2030 Agenda which aims at eradicating poverty in all its forms. More than 80% of persons with disabilities live in poverty. And there is a diversity of persons with disabilities in Nigeria, majority of them having physical disabilities or mobility problems. Sadly, in Nigeria Persons with disabilities that involve physical impairment are in most cases automatically bed-ridden, because they do not have access to mobility aids that could help them in accomplishing their activities of daily living. And the governments (Federal and States) are of no help. These Activities of Daily Living (ADL) include using the toilet, bathing, showering, getting in and out of bed or a chair; or transferring from one position to another. Emeron Foundation works to reduce suffering . Our mission is to help solve the problems of the poorest amongst us, by increasing their access to improved and quality health. There is a staggering inequality, which is why Nigeria ranks 161 out of 189 countries on the Human Development Index (HDI). But we can enable Persons with Disabilities live with dignity. With cooperation we can provide them with mobility aids such as: folding walkers, rollator walkers, wheelchairs, mobility scooters, canes, walking sticks, crutches, orthopaedic shoes, walker boots, braces, commode chairs, shower chairs/benches, etc.
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.
