About the Joseph Ihedigbo Charity Foundation
The Joseph Ihedigbo Charity Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2009 as a 501 (c)(3) organization based in Covington, Georgia. It works with communities in the Eastern part of Nigeria, and here in the USA to sustainably improve the quality of their lives. This organization was born out of love and commitment to humanity. After a trip to Nigeria in 2009, the founder was greatly disturbed by the level of hardship and poverty people were enduring. It was on that trip that the founder made a commitment to do something to make a difference.
The secret of getting help for these families is not by waiting for the government to step in and help, but by providing resources, aid, and equipment directly to the people who are already making a difference on the ground. Poverty is a disease that has eaten the fabric of our society. It must be eradicated. Let us join hands to fight this epidemic. Together we can make a difference by impacting the lives of the poor among us.
Please join us as we embark on this journey, together we can change the world. Since our inception, the foundation has made a huge impact on people’s lives through these services/programs: micro-finance, education, access to health, elder care, and feeding the hungry. JICF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization recognized by the IRS.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the basic needs of life to poor families in our communities here in Georgia and in rural areas of West Africa. The foundation focuses on the empowerment of the youths, to help them realize their maximum potential through education, quality health service, microfinance, and apprenticeship/life skills.
Our Vision
Through education and self-help, the families we help will learn to break the cycle of poverty. By equipping individuals with knowledge, skills, and resources, we empower them to rewrite their narratives and forge new paths toward sustainable futures.
The Difference
The JIC foundation is embedded in the communities. We work directly with community heads and organizations that are already in existence in these communities. To ensure the most effective and long-lasting change, we encourage citizens towards self-reliance and empowerment that will sustain the communities.
We are proud to have embarked on our home care visits for sick, elderly widows and orphans. Our home office has employed the services of some indigenous girls who visit the sick, widows, and orphans. They help them with their basic needs and report back to our home office.
