}}The Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe Foundation (HOW) is an African non-profit organization founded in 2010 by Herbert O. Wigwe and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria.[1]

Origin

The HOW Foundation is a nonprofit founded in 2010 by Herbert O. Wigwe as a social enterprise managed from inception by current COO, Antonia Ally,[2] it was set to make meaningful contributions to global development through unconventional focus on leadership, health and youth empowerment.

Aims

The foundation aims to

  • (i) contribute towards the global efforts being made on malaria eradication in Nigeria,
  • (ii) generate more National awareness on Prostate Cancer
  • (iii) develop programs and schemes to support underserved youths.

Foundation Programs

  • GMNP - Give Malaria No Place: In 2016, The HOW Foundation in partnership with Doctors Save A Life Foundation coined the ‘Give Malaria No Place’ (GMNP) Initiative and developed a powerful “2 Step” Solution in an effort to contribute to the global and national fight against malaria.[3] The two-step solution was to first educate and then do diagnostics and distribution of malaria preventive tools. It was launched in May 2016, at the founder's hometown, Isiokpo in Rivers State, distributing millions of mosquito nets, malaria medicines as well as education on proper malaria preventive habits. It embarked on the second leg in February 2017. In a bit to raise awareness on Malaria Prevention habits via social media, the foundation held a competition encouraging people to post creative videos explaining what they felt was the biggest contributing factor to malaria in Nigeria and the solution.
  • Leadership and Mentorship Seminars: In October 2016, the foundation partnered with U.K. Based motivational speaker, Joshua Ajitena and coined "Be The Best", a yearly motivational seminar aimed at students in government owned secondary schools.[4][5][6] The motivational seminars are focused on presenting practical methods the kids can adapt to overcome obstacles in today's social and economic environment. The hope is to encourage a diversification of job descriptions and a broader spectrum of future employment opportunities and development.
  • Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaigns: The statistics behind prostate cancer amongst black people is alarming. The Founder realised the issue was not amplified in comparison to its threat. The foundation has observed that many Nigerians can not identify the prostate, even more are not aware of the risks, over half of Prostate Cancer diagnosis in Nigerian men is found during the final stages of the cancer. In September 2017, to mark Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, the foundation kicked off a new initiative to the cause, "Blue-State Charity Football Match For Prostate Cancer Awareness.[7]
  • Others: On Saturday 24 June 2017, the partnership with RCCG on the God’s Children Great Talent Show (a music talent show for children), Season 7 [8][9] was concluded, in a continual bit to support and encourage underserved youth to strive to achieve their passion. The partnership with GCGT gave provision for HOW Foundation to encourage the young contestants of the show to strive for greatness, with a mentorship session held by Wigwe and a guest speaker.

Awards

In, June 2017, the CEO of The HOW Foundation was presented with an award at the UN Headquarters in New York by the World Mission Foundation.

In October 2017, The Foundation was nominated for Best Humanitarian Organisation by La Mode Magazine
