TY Danjuma Foundation

General T.Y. Danjuma (Rtd), Chairman Emeritus of the TY Danjuma Foundation, received an award from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, in recognition of his enormous contribution to the fight against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Nigeria. The award was conferred at the High-Level Advocacy Meeting with Honourable Commissioners and Directors of Public Health on October 29, 2026.

Through the Foundation, General Danjuma has funded initiatives for over a decade aimed at controlling and eliminating NTDs, particularly onchocerciasis (river blindness) in Taraba State, yielding positive results in disease control. The Foundation has supported research and surveys to determine the level of control and elimination, while participating in national-level conversations on a roadmap for total elimination.

The TY Danjuma Foundation, General Danjuma's legacy, continues to fund initiatives that provide access to quality and affordable healthcare for Nigerians, particularly those in underserved communities.

For many individuals and families in underserved communities, access to essential surgical care remains a challenge, often leaving treatable conditions unattended for prolonged periods.

Through our recent surgical outreach in Akwa Ibom State, we worked to bridge this gap, providing women and children with access to much-needed medical attention and an opportunity for improved health and well-being.

Implemented in partnership with the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health and Antof Rural Resource Development Centre (ARRDEC), this intervention reflects the importance of collaboration in addressing healthcare needs and making essential services more accessible to those who need them.

Every intervention is another step towards healthier individuals, stronger communities, and a future where access to quality healthcare is within everyone’s reach.

Innovate Today. Nourish Tomorrow. 🌍🌱

This World Food Day, we draw attention to the millions of people facing hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions that ensure access to adequate nutrition for all.

At the TY Danjuma Foundation, we recognise that good nutrition is fundamental to healthier lives and stronger communities. Through our partnerships with the Social Welfare Network Initiative (SWNI) and Freehearts Africa Reach Out Foundation (FAROF), we continue to support interventions that address malnutrition, improve access to nutritious food, and promote healthier feeding practices among vulnerable populations.

A well-nourished today lays the foundation for a healthier tomorrow.
