WHERE WE WORK
Markets
Since 2014 we have worked among over two hundred (200) the poorest of the poor among the market women, girls and boys who engage in hazardous and harmful income generation activities.
These activities are associated with poor psychological, physical and mental health as well as insecurity. Preliminary findings from data collected among the a representative sample of the population showed that 95% reported somatic pain, 65% reported perceived depression due to worry and anxiety while 75% of them reported noy happy everything considered. Some of them are also homeless and the school- age teenagers among them have dropped out of school. Our activities have been focused on psychosocial support services, provision of suitable accommodation, alternative sources of income through closely monitored skill acquisition programmes and return-to school programme. In the coming years.
Support
Mental health support
This includes provision of financial and human resources to ensure that market women with mental health issues receive medical care.
Since 2017 we have registered and have been following up the treatment of a rehabilitated woman from the market with the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria with the bills paid and drugs purchased. On clinic days, a volunteer always accompanies her to the hospital with enough funds for transportation cost, consultation fee and drug purchase. It is our hope to scale-up outreach activities with support from our partners in the coming years. All activities have been self-funded by the CEO/Founder of Profamily-Care Foundation

Three other students on postgraduate studies are also being assisted financially to complete their studies.

Data based psychoeducation programs
Data based psychoeducation programs
Data based psychoeducation programs on various aspects of human development provided for market communities such as trade associations in different major markets as well as vulnerable groups such as the homeless in inner city areas of urban cities in Nigeria. Regular visiting days as well as individual counselling as the need may arise are provided. This programme has the potential of playing a major role in the adjustment to city life by migrants from rural to urban centers. Thus reducing the prevalence of negative life events, insecurity, and vulnerability associated with living under the bridge and make-shift centers
Psychosocial support
Psychosocial support
Psychosocial support services include ensuring the availability of safety provision, connectedness with loved ones, calmness when hurting, ensuring self-efficacy, igniting hope, ensuring community efficacy, and psychological intervention. These forms of psychosocial support services are targeted to meet specific needs among vulnerable groups in the society, the elderly, as care-giver support services, families, mental health, people with chronic health conditions and people with terminal illnesses. The care for the elderly has become very important because our society is gradually becoming individualist as against collectivist.
