Securing the Basic Necessities of Life for All
The means of securing the basic necessities of life has become very imperative in the Niger Delta. Mac-Jim Foundation focuses on the achievement of sustainable livelihoods as a broad goal for poverty eradication — through training, sensitization, and advocacy for sustainable development goals and livelihood approaches.
Our agricultural programs improve farming techniques, connect farmers to markets, and encourage the adoption of climate-smart agriculture — empowering communities to adapt to changing environmental conditions and boost food security.
Our Programme Areas
From food security to alternative livelihoods, our integrated programmes address the full spectrum of community development needs in the Niger Delta.
🍽️Food Security
Promoting the production and consumption of nutrient-rich, diverse and locally-adapted food crops, while improving access to safe and nutritious food for vulnerable groups.
🌾Agricultural Development
Supporting smallholder farmers with improved farming techniques, tools, and access to quality inputs. Promoting climate-smart methods to build resilience against environmental shocks.
🔧Alternative Livelihoods
Empowering communities with vocational skills and economic alternatives to environmentally harmful activities — reducing dependency on oil-sector employment.

Promoting access to clean water, sanitation, and sustainable energy solutions that build community resilience and reduce environmental health risks.
