First Annual Report (2024/2025)

Letter from the Founder

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community Members,

On behalf of the SN Maduekwe Charity Foundation, I am proud to present our first Annual Report. Since our official registration on October 25, 2024, our mission has taken root, and we’ve begun sowing the seeds of hope, empowerment, and transformation across Anambra State, Nigeria and beyond.

 This first year has been deeply humbling. With limited resources but abundant passion, we’ve supported vulnerable youth, empowered women, provided healthcare assistance, and stood with families facing hunger and hardship. We did not do this alone — we did it with your prayers, goodwill, and, most importantly, through the grace of God.

 Together with my wife, we’ve dedicated ourselves to laying a strong foundation for the future—one marked by compassion, service, and impact. We are humbled by what has been accomplished so far and energized by the possibilities ahead.

As we look ahead to 2025/2026, we are even more committed to expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Thank you for believing in our mission.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Chief Simon Okwudilichukwu Maduekwe
