Nigeria is one of 12 countries across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) receiving a share of a 3M grant totalling $1,875,000, being directed to projects supporting nutrition, mental and physical health, education and COVID-19 awareness, according to the most pressing local needs and country status of the pandemic.
Specifically, United Way Greater Nigeria, the local UW organisation, is working with 3M Nigeria to implement a $160,009 COVID-19 relief programme to support communities in the five administrative zones in Lagos State that have been identified at risk for a total of 10,000 beneficiaries.
