No one should die of kidney failure because they could not pay

Dialysis costs more per week than most Nigerian families earn in a month. NNKF funds treatment, screening and support so that a diagnosis is not a death sentence.

In Loving Memory

The woman this foundation is named for

Princess Mrs. Norah Ezenwanyi Nwokorie (née Njemanze)1983 — 2025

Norah was diagnosed with kidney failure in September 2022. For three years she endured dialysis two and three times a week, and her family endured it beside her. She did not survive the illness — but the foundation that carries her name exists so that fewer families have to.

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Our Mission

A voice to the voiceless

Kidney disease is one of the most devastating and expensive health conditions known to humanity. NNKF was established to give voice to patients, families and communities facing this illness — and to offer practical support in access to healthcare, education, advocacy and financial assistance.

“
My beloved wife Norah was diagnosed with kidney failure in September 2022. I watched her uncountable sleepless nights, her cries and pain, her 2–3 dialysis sessions every week. It is out of that personal experience that we formed this foundation — together we can be a voice to the voiceless, and together we can save many lives.

Her Children

So other children keep their parents

We miss our Mommy, and we want to do our part to ensure that others don't go through what we went through. We want to help as many children as possible by helping their parents get the treatment they need — so their parents can watch them grow into adults.
