WHAT WE DO
 The
Secure Our Children Foundation is an action-focused organization
with the broad mission of containing hunger and malnutrition,
the two prime enablers of infections and diseases among poverty-stricken
children in Africa.
While its vision is expansive, SOCF's primary effort is taking
noma in Africa. Its primary strategy is to focus on prevention
by establishing, supporting and encouraging people-focused
information, education and empowerment programs.
A 501(c) non-profit organization, the Secure Our Children
foundation is headed by Professor Cyril Enwonwu, an expert
in Nutrition and Noma. Please visit the Who
We Are page for more details.
