Our story so far
The Foundation's own short film on why oxygen matters, the children it reaches, and how to help.
Medical-grade oxygen for the children who need it most.
Thousands of children are suffering and even dying due to a lack of oxygen. Low-income households can't afford what their kids need, and inadequate supply in our medical facilities hits the underprivileged hardest. We exist to change that.
Why we exist
A small foundation with one focus: getting free, safe oxygen to the children who would otherwise go without.
Our mission
To improve the quality of life of children in disadvantaged hospitals and homes by providing free and safe medical oxygen with the aid of technology.
Our vision
A West Africa where no child suffers or dies for lack of access to medical-grade oxygen.
Our approach
We partner with medical gas firms, hospitals, medical professionals, and financial institutions who share our commitment to ensuring underprivileged children do not suffer because of the lack of medical oxygen.
Free oxygen supply
Identifying hospitals throughout the country and providing free, safe oxygen to the children who need it most.
Technological improvement
Medical gas piping, manifold systems, oxygen concentrators, and ICU ventilators for rural and disadvantaged facilities.
Training and safety
Training on safety, cylinder handling, and the technology behind reliable oxygen delivery to children.
