Bina Foundation For People With Special Needs is a Not-for-Profit charitable organization dedicated to providing free medical screening and treatment, nutritional, educational, financial, emotional, and psychological support to people with special needs. It was founded in 2010 with a focus on promoting the wellness of people with special needs in some rural and semi-urban areas of Nigeria, West Africa. The driving force of the Foundation is the aspiration to alleviate the marginalization and neglect suffered by a cross-section of people with special needs in the face of seeming government incapacity and/or nonchalance.

Since the inception in 2010, we have provided numerous services to thousands of people with special needs in our targeted areas, This includes monetary donations and other materials to orphanages, homes for the disabled, and the marginalized groups in the society including people living with HIV/AIDS and leprosy settlements. In addition, Bina Foundation has also improved the quality of life of people with special needs through the provision of comprehensive medical services.
Our medical team and social workers work tirelessly to unlock the potentials of the beneficiaries and restore their dignity and belief in humanity. The foundation has already reached out to and empowered thousands of individuals directly and indirectly through its charitable and medical activities in various communities in Nigeria.
Through our medical visitations, cash, materials and moral support to the destitute, we are able to put smiles on the faces of the beneficiaries while positive impact is being made in their lives. The organization is privately funded by its founders and supported by individuals who are passionate about helping the downtrodden in our society. One of our biggest assets is our volunteer team of selfless medical and social workers who are ready to serve the poorest of the poor in our communities. However, Bina Foundation is young but growing in leaps and bounds and always in need of volunteers who are passionate about our cause and want to make a difference in the society. We welcome local and international agencies that may be interested in partnering with us.
