The Alfred & Rufina Obi Foundation 

About 

Given Hope Charities is dedicated to providing free basic health care services within our communities. We support the treatment of common illnesses such as malaria, typhoid, hypertension, diabetes, ulcer, fever, respiratory infections, other simple illnesses, and provide necessary medications at no cost. We have established a free clinic that operates once a week, where individuals can be tested for and receive treatment for basic illnesses. The clinic is staffed by a doctor, several nurses, and a lab technician who runs basic tests. Additionally, we back organizations that conduct medical outreach efforts. Recently, we funded a cataract outreach initiative organized by the University of Nigeria teaching hospital, where approximately 80 patients underwent cataract surgery at no cost. 

We provide food assistance throughout the year, particularly during the holidays. Pantry staples, fresh produce and meats, and condiments are available for community members in need of food during these times. During the farming season, yam tubers are distributed to women with limited resources to assist them in producing more food for their families.
