The Julius Agenmonmen Foundation (JAF) has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to bringing free healthcare services to underserved communities in Nigeria. This time, the foundation took its yearly free medical outreach to Ikota, Lekki, Lagos.
Partnership with Haven Opticals
Executed in partnership with Haven Opticals, the two-day outreach saw about 1,000 community members receive free, quality healthcare services across a range of specialities. These included dental care, eye care, laboratory tests, general consultations, counselling, and pharmacy services. For many of the beneficiaries, it was their first access to this level of care.
Community Response
The community's response was overwhelming. Beneficiaries expressed deep gratitude, as many were moved by the simple reality that something as critical as a medical consultation had come to their doorstep at no cost. Volunteers who participated in the outreach urged all Nigerians not to wait until they are sick. They noted that regular health checkups are not a luxury, but a lifeline. Catching health challenges early, they urged, can make the difference between a manageable condition and a full-blown crisis.
Founder's Remarks
For the Co-founder, Julius Agenmonmen, Group Managing Director of Brandlife Limited in Nigeria and Brandlife Limited in Kenya, the outreach was personal and deeply spiritual. Speaking at the outreach, Agenmonmen expressed heartfelt gratitude to God for making the outreach possible, describing it as a tangible expression of his faith and that of his wife. 'This is us demonstrating God's love to humanity,' he said. He also shared that the foundation was established in 2023, after he turned 60, as a deliberate decision to give back to the communities around him.
