RescueHand community outreach in Nigeria
A hand up, not a handout

Breaking the cycle of extreme poverty across Africa.

We fight hunger, build health centres and schools, and bring clean water to the communities that need it most — starting in Nigeria.

The Mandate
“Now it’s the right time to speak up for the voiceless, cater for the destitute and defend the rights of the needy.”

Our mission is to break the circle of extreme poverty, liberate mankind from extreme hardship, create a better life for the needy, and bring hope to people living in poverty around the world.

Our Goals

Four promises we are keeping, one community at a time.

01

Food banks in every community

Build food banks across every village and city in Africa — starting in Nigeria — so no child dies of malnutrition and every child gets at least three meals a day.

02

Free health centres

Establish health centres in all villages and cities where people access free, quality medical care and medication — regardless of religion or ethnicity.

03

Schools for the less privileged

Build schools that give destitute children free, sound education all the way up to university level.

04

Clean water for all

Sink boreholes in every rural community so families have access to safe, free water without walking miles to find it.

Key Initiatives

Six programs turning compassion into action.

Every initiative is designed to meet an urgent need today while building the structures that lift communities for good.

SNAPSupplemental Nutrition Assistance

Action Against Hunger

We establish food banks in rural communities where the needy access raw foods constantly. Next, we secure farmland from community leaders and employ people to farm it — scaling our free food distribution.

CHSSCommunity Health Support Scheme

Community Health Support

We are building community health centres so people can access free medical care — confronting the preventable illnesses behind millions of deaths across Africa each year.

SEAPSelf Employment Assistance

Skills & Self-Employment

We build skill-acquisition centres and partner with trainers to teach trades, then set up each graduate — with grants and mentoring for those starting a business.

AWPAged Welfare Project

Aged Welfare

Monthly stipends for elderly people aged 75 and above who have no means of caring for themselves.

CDPCommunity Development Project

Community Development

We build boreholes for communities facing severe water scarcity — bringing safe drinking water to villages where families walk miles for often-unsafe water.

BSPBack To School Project

Back To School

We build schools and provide free education for the less privileged, and distribute free exercise books and textbooks to students.

Why It Matters

The scale of the need — and why we can’t wait.
