Ramadan Giving Day 25: RAM HEI

RAM HEI was founded in late 2016 as a response to the growing lack of access to basic human needs in Nigeria such as food and primary health care services. Nigeria is part of the countries in the bottom half of the globe with poor health services. Most of the Nigerian population are at a disadvantage and have no access to basic health or social care. More so, the masses are at the receiving end of bad leadership, corruption, conflicts, and war which have become part of the social problems of the world, especially Africa and other developing and the underdeveloped countries.

RAM HEI will not only strive to address determinants of health and wellbeing through health improvement provide but will also engage various stakeholders to better health and well-being of the population of Nigeria.

Their current projects include free health checks in local communities to identify illnesses such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart diseases, diabetes, and depression, EMPOWER a pilot programme aimed at tackling unemployment and also the Big Feed which provides food parcels for widows, elderly, unemployed and those that are government officials who have not received salaries for over three months.
