Aliko Dangote Foundation

Our Initiatives

Aliko Dangote Foundation (ADF) is the private charitable foundation of Aliko Dangote. Incorporated in 1994, as Dangote Foundation, with the mission to enhance opportunities for social change through strategic investments that improve health and wellbeing, promote quality education, and broaden economic empowerment opportunities. 20 years later, the Foundation has become the largest private Foundation in sub-Saharan Africa, with the largest endowment by a single African donor.

Health

The Aliko Dangote Foundation is committed to directly reaching one million households with community-based management of acute malnutrition, which provides access to improved water and sanitation, improved behavioural change, livelihood support, strengthening locals and the national health system as well as global advocacy by 2025.

On continental partnerships, the ADF vision is not limited to Nigeria. In realising the vision for a better Africa, the Foundation is strategically supporting and working with like-minded international organisations in changing the Africa narratives.

Empowerment

To broaden empowerment opportunities for individuals and communities, we have empowered women through our micro-grant programme aimed at poverty amelioration through economic empowerment of women. The Foundation has disbursed N230 million to women in Kogi State as a micro-grant as part of the Kogi Human Capital Development initiative.

The foundation has continued its initiative and is set to empower an additional 106,000 women across four states in Northern Nigeria, with a sum of N1.1 billion. The Aliko Dangote Foundation has already commenced the identification of eligible beneficiaries, towards the implementation of the programme across these states and will be actively targeting and empowering thousands of women across Northern Nigeria.
