What We Do
Our Mission and Objectives
End Almajiri
MTDI Almajiri Project is aimed at addressing and bringing an end to the the Almajirici begging among other raging child rights abuses which are a basic foundation of insecurity crisis in Northern Nigeria and beyond.
The Almajiri educational system is a serious concern that has cut across places not only in Northern Nigeria but also the southern part of the country.
Empower Our Women
The society does play an important role in shaping a child’s future, educating the girls should not just involve the students alone but it should include their immediate families and the communities that they are part of. Therefore, counseling and sensitizing the community on gender issues is an important part of the foundation’s activities.
Awareness Campaign
The MTDI has been creating regular awareness and support for pregnant women by ensuring that they visit the health centers for regular antenatal care during pregnancy. In addition, the expecting mothers are enlightened on the risk of poor antenatal care such as complications before and after birth.
