Our founding mission: to offer opportunities for higher learning, career training and improved healthcare in Benue state, Nigeria.
Today, the Tanimu Foundation has grown to support education and healthcare through the following programs:
Medical Education & Healthcare Program
Through our founder, Dr. Tanimu, the foundation offers free medical procedures and medical education in Nigeria. Dr. Tanimu offers his medical expertise as a gastroenterologist to conduct a series of free endoscopic procedures each year at National Hospital Abuja or Benue State University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. He also offers lectures on the latest gastroenterology practices to medical professionals and, through sponsors, offers donated medical supplies.

Educational Scholarship Program
The foundation’s founding program continues to award students in Nigeria with college scholarships each year. It is meant to counter the challenges many students face which may keep them from pursuing a college education, including financial constraints, poor societal guidance and gang activities in the area. Through this program, we aim to promote and reward academic excellence in North Central Nigeria and eventually nationwide.
