Dr. Funmi Alakija Foundation (DFAF) was founded on September 18, 2018, to honour and remember the good works of the late Dr. Funmi Alakija. Dr. Funmi Alakija had dreams of helping mankind and improving human capital development and well-being. DFAF was set up to continue the work Dr. Funmi Alakija started and to further her vision for improved primary healthcare services in Nigeria that compete with global standards. The Foundation has been formed to implement her work and ideas, especially in the area of medical care for the less privileged.

Established and led by an Incorporated Trustee of relatives, friends, and associates, DFAF was set up to fulfill eight (8) key objectives which include, but are not limited to, providing suggestions that enhance medical care across the country; advocating for improved medical performance in Nigeria; directly meeting the medical needs of disadvantaged peoples and groups across Nigeria; providing education, counsel, and mentorship in our schools and communities; and helping to establish and rehabilitate health centres and facilities that ensure the Foundation’s objectives are carried out successfully.
