About Us
Learn about our foundation, our mission, and the story behind our commitment to emergency response education in Nigeria.
Our Story
The Michael & David Memorial Emergency Foundation (M&DMEF) was founded in memory of Bidemi Michael Alao and Dare David Alao, whose tragic losses highlighted the urgent need for proper emergency care in Nigeria.
After experiencing firsthand how the lack of emergency response knowledge and resources can lead to preventable deaths, our founders committed to creating an organization that would address this critical gap in Nigerian healthcare.
Since our establishment, we have worked tirelessly to equip individuals and communities with life-saving skills through hands-on training, awareness campaigns, and strategic partnerships.
