Dangote Foundation (now known as Aliko Dangote Foundation) is Africa’s largest private philanthropic organization, with a mission to enhance health, nutrition, education, and economic empowerment across the continent.
Established by Aliko Dangote, the Foundation has consistently demonstrated how corporate wealth can be channeled into transformative social impact.
The Foundation has been at the forefront of health interventions, investing heavily in the fight against malnutrition, polio eradication, and maternal health. In 2024, it expanded its nutrition initiative, reaching millions of children with fortified foods and direct interventions to combat child malnutrition in Nigeria and beyond.
Its economic empowerment programs have provided micro-grants and loans to women and small-scale traders, creating new opportunities for financial independence.
Through strategic partnerships with global organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Dangote Foundation continues to strengthen systems that improve healthcare delivery and poverty reduction.
As a nominee for Social Enterprise of the Year, the Dangote Foundation exemplifies the power of private philanthropy to drive public good. Its scale, consistency, and impact make it a force in redefining corporate social responsibility and advancing Africa’s development.
