Obanna Gender Care Foundation (OGCF) is a non-profit organization that aims to reduce maternal and child mortality in Nigeria through data-driven activities that sensitize vulnerable groups including women and adolescents. It trains and works with community-based volunteers in awareness campaigns that promote and debunk myths on the life-saving benefits of maternal and child health services. Among the core campaigns that OGCF organizes are antenatal care, family planning and the use of insecticide treated nets.
