Specifically, Our Lady’s Food Kitchen was established in 2004 to provide food and aid to families in need. It is expanding its mission by providing economic independence to women through trade and business ventures. Medical Missions are undertaken during which US trained physicians, pharmacists and several volunteers provide free physicals, clinical care and medications to local inhabitants in eastern Nigeria. Since 2007, a Maternal Child Division was inaugurated to provide support in the area of prenatal care for women with high risk pregnancies and provide aid to neonatal intensive care units in need. Also the Foundation seeks to create awareness and educate the masses through programs that promote ways to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Articles of clothing and food have also been provided to communities and individuals that are less privileged in Eastern Nigera. In 2012, Mezu International Foundation, in order to be better able to provide more effective aid to more needy people and expand its outreach beyond borders, obtained a non-profit status. Currently, the Foundation is using Eastern Nigeria as a model to promote its programs in the areas of education, good health care and economic empowerment in Africa.

Edu-GIRLS seeks to address the unique challenges to delivering education to girls created by social and gender bias in poverty affected households. In such households, with both parents trying to earn a living, girls are often held back from school to take care of the household or look after younger siblings or even to add to the meager family income through menial work. Edu-GIRLS approach customizes delivery methods to achieve success in such a setting, where few resources are devoted to the girl child. We do not stop at increased primary enrollment. We do not stop at achieving high rates of high school completion. We extend ourselves to ensure that girls have acquired skills for good jobs. We go all the way to financial independence.
