Ashlee Momoh Foundation Takes Free Healthcare to Kobi-Makaranta Community
By Matthew Eloyi
The Ashlee Momoh Foundation has marked the 2026 World Humanitarian Day by taking free medical services to residents of Kobi-Makaranta Community in Guzape District, Abuja.
The health outreach, held on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, was designed to bring basic healthcare services closer to residents, particularly families who face difficulties accessing medical care.
Speaking at the event, Chairperson of the Foundation, Princess Ashlee Momoh, said the initiative was inspired by the need to provide healthcare, dignity and compassion to underserved members of the community.
According to her, the outreach featured free medical screenings, consultations and the provision of essential medications through a team of medical volunteers.
She said access to basic medical care remained a fundamental human right, but acknowledged that it continued to be an uphill battle for many families.
“When we conceptualized this health outreach for the Kobi-Makaranta community, our goal was simple yet profound: to bring healthcare, dignity, and a listening ear directly to your doorstep,” Momoh said.
She added that the Foundation’s objective was to ensure that every beneficiary felt “seen, valued, and cared for.”
Momoh also dedicated the Foundation’s humanitarian activities to the memory of her late mother, whom she described as the inspiration behind her commitment to humanitarian service.
She recalled that her mother taught her compassion from an early age by caring for the sick, comforting people in distress and treating everyone, irrespective of status, with dignity and respect.
“She taught me that true wealth is measured not by what we accumulate, but by how many lives we lift when they are down,” she said.
Momoh noted that although her mother was no longer alive, her spirit continued to live through the Foundation’s various humanitarian outreaches.
“This foundation is her monument, and every act of kindness we share is her enduring legacy living on through us,” she said.
The Foundation chairperson commended the doctors, nurses, medical personnel, volunteers, partners, media organisations and community leaders who supported the outreach.
She also thanked residents of Kobi-Makaranta for welcoming the Foundation, assuring them that they were not forgotten.
Momoh urged Nigerians to see humanitarianism as a practical responsibility rather than merely an idea, calling on people to continue to support one another through acts of kindness and service.
“As we go about today’s outreach, let us remember that humanity is not just a concept, it is an action. Let us continue to love deeply, give freely, and serve one another with grace,” she said.
