Ekens Micro Funding Programmes

Ekens Foundation: Microfinance for small-scale businesses in rural areas.

Let me use this opportunity to briefly introduce myself.

My name is Ekens Azubuike. As the founder and president of the Ekens Foundation and Ekens and Hellas Humanitarian Foundation, it has been my passion to assist the less privileged, widows, refugees, and asylum seekers based on my firsthand experience with systemic oppression. My goal is to change the lives of the less privileged, widows, refugees, and asylum seekers in the rural areas around the globe and to respond in realtime on humanitarian responses.

In March 2019, we launched the Ekens Foundation Microfunding Program for rural women entrepreneurs.

As the founder and president of Ekens Foundation International (EFI) Canada, known as Ekens Foundation, and Ekens and Hellas Humanitarian Foundation, Nigeria, West Africa.

The Ekens Foundation empowerment program is a kind of micro-funding program for small-scale businesses in rural areas, mainly for petty businesses. The microfunding is intended to be repaid by installment without a time limit or interest. The purpose is to encourage the Ekens Foundation to continue helping others in need by reinvesting the money in other less privileged people in need of our assistance.
