Goddy Jidenma Foundation is a not –for-profit non-governmental organisation that was established in 2007 in the memory of Goddy Jidenma, who died in 2006. He was a selfless leader who made indelible impacts in the lives of the people around him particularly among the disadvantaged. He achieved this through philanthropic acts that helped to uplift and improve the living conditions of widows, orphans, aged spinsters amongst others.
