Yenagoa | September, 2022
Project Heartplate, a humanitarian outreach program of the King Koko Foundation, dedicated to restoring hope, dignity, and compassion among displaced and vulnerable families. Inspired by the values of courage and service embodied by King Koko, the project nourishes both body and spirit. We shared meals made with love and care, one plate at a time.
We provided freshly prepared meals to more than 500 displaced persons daily for one week at the IDP Camp in Yenagoa. The initiative brought together community volunteers, cooks, and local partners, united by a single purpose: to ensure that every individual young and old experienced warmth, nourishment, and dignity.
Through Project Heartplate, the Foundation seeks to go beyond emergency feeding by establishing continuous community support. Future phases will include health screenings, educational engagement for children, and skills development for women and youth, helping displaced families rebuild their lives with confidence and resilience.
Core Values
Compassion: Serving humanity through kindness and empathy.
Dignity: Upholding every person’s right to respect and care.
Community: Building bonds through shared service and collaboration.
Sustainability: Creating lasting solutions beyond immediate aid.
Nembe | October 2024Restoring dignity, one classroom at a time.
In October 2024, the King Koko Foundation, under its Education Support Initiative, undertook a humanitarian intervention at St. Luke’s Primary School, Nembe, by donating 100 chairs and tables to the school. The decision came after a needs-assessment visit revealed the heartbreaking reality that pupils were sitting on the bare floor to learn. Many children used their laps as writing surfaces, while others squatted on dusty classroom floors; conditions that were not only physically uncomfortable but also deeply undignified for young learners.
Education remains a cornerstone of community empowerment and a pathway to lasting development. Every desk delivered to St. Luke’s was more than wood and nails, it symbolized an investment in the future of the Nembe child and a reaffirmation that every child deserves the right to learn in safety, comfort, and dignity.
This project forms part of a broader Foundation commitment to strengthen educational infrastructure across the Niger Delta, focusing on rural and underserved communities.
By addressing critical gaps in learning conditions, the Foundation continues to translate compassion into action, ensuring that no child is left behind.
