NKEMJIKA DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION
Empowering people, building impact

About NDF

Nkemjika Development Foundation (NDF) was founded in 2006 by Evang. Michael Obinna, in loving memory of Apostle Ruben Nkemjika Ikoku Ikpoh. What began as a personal commitment to touch lives has grown into a foundation focused on advancing equity, justice, and opportunity for underserved communities. NDF started its work by engaging directly with people organizing sensitization campaigns, providing basic skill training, and helping individuals take small but meaningful steps toward independence. Our early efforts were modest, but our mission was clear: to uplift lives with compassion, one person at a time. Over the years, our programs have evolved to include educational support, drug abuse prevention, emergency relief efforts, and the establishment of community initiatives like the Community Justice Center and Aguru Egbulam project. These initiatives reflect our growing reach but more importantly, they reflect our constant commitment to people. Today, NDF continues to serve as a bridge between potential and possibility, with a focus on transforming lives across Imo State and the Eastern region of Nigeria. We remain grounded in the belief that sustainable impact is built not through grand gestures, but through steady, intentional service. We are committed to building a future where equity is not a privilege, but a shared reality accessible to every person, every family, and every community.

Real people. Real Impact

What We Do

According to the Multidimensional Poverty Index, 63% of Nigerians are deprived of life’s basic necessities, from food security to sanitation. At 2023, over 10.5 million children were out of school, with only 35% reaching tertiary education. True equity means more than opportunity, it means restoring justice, dignity, and hope.

At Nkemjika Development Foundation (NDF), we are closing these gaps by promoting poverty alleviation, social justice, and educational empowerment. We envision a world where everyone is holistic, heard, and supported through our initiatives from flood relief programs, to our drug abuse prevention campaigns to the Aguru egbule anyi agricultural project and the establishment of Community Justice Centers, we are lifting lives, restoring rights, and building resilient communities.

At NDF, we believe equity should exist where it matters most. Together, we can create a future where everyone, no matter their background, has the opportunity to thrive.
