November 2025, Benin City.

In November 2025 the Foundation organised an outreach at PrimeDews Hospital in Amagba, Benin City.

Dr Benjamin Olowojebutu and a visiting medical team took part, treating patients who could not otherwise afford care. The programme worked alongside the host hospital.

The Foundation's healthcare work includes earlier outreach programmes in Delta State, and it continues to work with medical professionals and host hospitals in both states.
