About Makanda Foundation

A Community of Hope

MAKANDA FOUNDATION is a Community of Hope and Prosperity. This is an organization that helps to cultivate hope for the disadvantaged members in the community. The organization identifies and supports people within the community that are facing unbearable hardships and are vulnerable.

Our organization has been working in the society to alleviate poverty and diseases, guide and counsel the disadvantaged, assist the elderly and widows to help them live a happy life. We also help street children who are rejected by their parents or become unwanted. We help them in every way that we can so that they can lead a promising future.
