Prevention & Control of Noma in Nigeria

Please click on the button to the left to donate to the program in Nigeria.  Thank you!

Dr. Priscilla Benner, Emenike and Chidi Ukazim recently travelled to Nigeria, Africa to meet with government officials and others interested in the prevention of noma ulcer and nutritional blindness.  After a successful trip and introduction of MAMA Project to Nigeria, our program begins. 
 
Take a look at the presentation in the link below to learn more about MAMA Nigeria.  Be forewarned that some of the pictures are graphic, as noma is a nasty infection.  You may not want to allow children to see these pictures.  Also, take some time to scan through our other documents at the bottom of this page.
