Community Outreach

 Michael and Francisca Foundation Medical Outreach at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Ojota

On Saturday, 26th September 2026, the Michael and Francisca Foundation (MFF), in collaboration with the National Team of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, held a medical outreach at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Ojota, Lagos.

The outreach recorded a massive turnout, with many members of the community coming forward to receive medical attention, health information, and support. It was a beautiful demonstration of what can be achieved when organisations, healthcare professionals, volunteers, and the community come together with one common purpose: to promote health, dignity, and wellbeing for all.

Doctors and other healthcare professionals were on ground to provide medical consultations and health assessments. Physiotherapists attended to people who needed rehabilitation support and guidance, while dental and eye-care professionals also provided essential services to participants.

As part of the outreach, medications and eyeglasses were distributed to beneficiaries, helping to address some of the immediate health needs identified during the exercise. The Foundation was particularly grateful for the opportunity to reach people who may otherwise face difficulties accessing these services.

The success of the outreach was made possible through the commitment and dedication of the medical team, physiotherapists, dental and eye-care professionals, members of the National Team of

Saint Vincent de Paul, volunteers, supporters, and everyone who contributed in one way or another.

For the Michael and Francisca Foundation, this outreach goes beyond providing medical services. It is about bringing healthcare closer to the people, listening to their needs, promoting prevention and early detection, and reminding individuals and families that they are not alone in their health journey.

We sincerely appreciate Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Ojota, the National Team of Saint Vincent de Paul, all the healthcare professionals, volunteers, donors, and supporters for making this important initiative possible.

It was indeed a successful and impactful outing, and we remain committed to continuing our work of serving communities, supporting people living with noncommunicable diseases, and promoting healthier and more dignified lives.

Together, we can make a difference. ❤️🙏🏾

As a stroke survivor, I faced not only the physical challenges of recovery but also the emotional weight of isolation and uncertainty. It wasn’t just about healing—it was about finding hope, love, and care when it felt like none existed. Waking up to a new reality, where my body no longer moved as it once did, was terrifying. The simplest tasks became overwhelming battles, and every day felt like an uphill struggle. The loneliness was just as paralyzing as the stroke itself.
