•  ​Humanitarian Needs:  A 2017  study by a research center at the University of Oxford indicated over 58 million people in Nigeria are destitute.  68.0 percent and 84.5 percent of the Nigerian population lived below US $1.25 per day and $2 per day.   Ebonyi State with its predominantly agricultural economy is among the poorest in Nigeria.  In 2012 a study by the Nigerian Journal of Agriculture, Food and Environment observed 90% of Ebonyi's rural population or roughly 1.6 million  lived in abject poverty.  That study indicated rural families consumed only 10% of the quantity and quality of their minimum required diets despite the observation that those families spent 77% of their income on food.  Hunger is the norm in Ebonyi State.  As Angela Testani  observed during one of her visits, a family of five would share one yam as their entire meal.

In 2012 the International Journal of Health Policy and Management stated maternal and child health status in Nigeria is among the worst in Africa.  In 2016 UNICEF urged Ebonyi State's community leaders to integrate child survival, protection and development in their community meetings and activities in order to begin efforts on working to save and improve the lives of children and women in Ebonyi State.  MMCF supports families, aging adults, adults with disabilities and youth through social services and opportunities for healthy growth and development in the various parishes served by Fr. Inyanwachi.

During the recent COVID 19 pandemic MMCF distributed staples to the neediest families.  

MMCF's support allows this young mother, Maureen, to provide for a family of five by selling jewelry and accessories that she makes.

Before MMCF's borehole some young girls would miss school because they have to walk up to 7 kilometers to obtain "safe" drinking water. So the MMCF borehole.

MMCF assisted Mrs. Alice Nwojiji after a fire in her home left her seriously injured, bedridden and forced her children to be sent to live elsewhere. Through MMCF's intervention, Mrs. Nwojiji completed her medical treatment, physicial therapy, rehabilitation and is regaining her mobility. She is now reunited with her children.
