Six pillars. One mandate: close the gap.

Healthcare was the first thing that drove us into the creeks, and it remains at the heart of everything we do. We have built and now operate three permanent free healthcare centers and clinic clusters serving over 30 riverine communities across the Niger Delta creeks — each offering free consultations, a free pharmacy, preventive care and essential medication to populations who previously had no formal healthcare access at all.

• Ugbege Community, Warri North — this model has scaled to serve 13 surrounding communities with more than 40,000 patient visits in 2025.

• Jakpa Community Healthcare Centre — our flagship facility, serving over 25,000 patients cumulatively, averaging 700 visits a month.

• Ubagboro Community Healthcare Centre — opened February 2026, extending primary care to nine additional Itsekiri and Ijaw communities.

• 19 medical outreaches across Warri North, Warri South, Warri South West and Edo State have tested, treated and supported over 19,000 patients with TB care, eye care and free medication — including 53 confirmed tuberculosis cases treated.

• Critical cases are transported by boat to tertiary hospitals, enabling life-saving surgeries such as herniorrhaphy, fibroid removals and appendectomies.

• A partnership with the Itsekiri National Congress USA is bringing telehealth to the Ugbege and Jakpa centers, including nurse training and tablet-based access to volunteer doctors abroad.

• This system has contributed to improved health outcomes, including a reduction from a previous mortality rate of 13.08 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants.

Community development at RMF means building the foundational infrastructure of dignified living: clean water, safe roads and walkways, internet connectivity, solar energy, food on the table. In the Niger Delta creeks, these are not luxuries — they are the difference between life and death, isolation and opportunity.

• Built a clean water purification project in Daleoketa Community, converting iron-rust and oil-contaminated brown water into clean, drinkable water — inaugurated in May 2024 with the Iye of Warri Kingdom and the Council of Chiefs in attendance.

• Built and later restored the clean water project in Orere Community, and advanced a further clean water project in Ugbolaja Community with local stakeholders.

• Expanded clean water access to the Ejo Family Compound quarter in Ode-Itsekiri (2026), and rebuilt a 4km wooden walkway in Ekeporo Community, restoring safe passage for children, women and elderly residents.

• Installed solar power and Starlink internet in Bateren Community — the first telecommunications access that community has ever had — and solar lamps, power banks and charging centres elsewhere.

• Delivered 24-hour solar electricity to the Ugbege Healthcare Center — its very first electricity generation — and distributed roughly 9,000 food palliative packages to children and families, with monthly provisioning at school level.

• Completed a community family housing facility for visiting teachers, nurses, doctors and volunteers, and hosted an end-of-year celebration for children, including new clothes sewn specifically for the occasion.

• 11 communities impacted to date under this pillar, with aggressive expansion — and climate adaptation planning for coastal erosion — underway.

The Niger Delta sits on extraordinary natural wealth — not just oil, but land and water. Our agricultural programme is built on the conviction that the long-term future of these communities cannot rest on a resource that will eventually run out and has, in any case, never truly benefited them.

• In partnership with the Ugbolaja Community, Warri South LGA, launched an integrated agricultural development initiative on a 1,885-acre estate — one of the most ambitious self-funded indigenous NGO investments in Niger Delta agriculture.

• The first 100 acres are fully surveyed, lodged with the Delta State Government, cleared of all required levies, and actively farmed, with training provided to 50 youths in partnership with NCDMB in 2025.

• The estate produces cassava, ugwu, potato and oil palm, and already runs a mini processing plant turning produce into export-ready goods.

• Designed as a fully integrated hub: primary food production, agro-processing, agro-packaging, and an agro-teaching programme for youth and community members.

• When fully operational, the estate is projected to provide livelihoods for over 2,000 youths across multiple communities throughout the creeks.

• Founder Ade Mabo presented at the Iwere Agricultural Symposium — "Diversifying the Economy of Iwere Nation: A Focus on Agriculture" — advocating a structural shift away from oil dependency.
