Community outreach.

The Dr Paddy Emmanuel Foundation provides assistance to people facing hardship through Christmas programmes, support for widows and older people, and other community initiatives.

Gift of Love.

The Christmas Gift of Love is the Foundation's seasonal programme of assistance for older people, widows and households facing hardship.

These programmes sit alongside the Foundation's healthcare and enterprise-development work, and are carried out by the Foundation, separate from the campaign.

Community projects.

Beyond seasonal giving, the Foundation's community work reaches villages, churches and households across Edo State, from relief support to the opening of new community facilities.
