Makinde Araoye
Social Security Scheme

This is an initiative of the MKD Araoye Foundation structured as a continuous program, for helping the underprivileged in the society live a healthy and productive life. The major objective of this initiative is improving the wellbeing of the elderly, particularly widows and widowers who do not have employed children to cater for their basic needs.

Our programs equip the senior citizens and youth of Ekiti State with the tools, training, and resources needed for them to take control of their own future, better support their families, and strengthen their communities. We co-create programs with each community, collaborating directly with local governing structures or bodies, its women and youth to build holistic but sustainable solutions tailored to each community’s unique needs.

Some of the programs under this scheme includes the following:
