Who we are

HACN is led by our CEO, Owen Obakpolo, and run from our office on Airport Road, Benin City, Edo State. Our volunteers take exercise books, uniforms and school fees to pupils, food parcels to senior citizens, and hygiene supplies to schools.

We hand everything over in person and photograph each outreach day, so supporters can see where their gifts went. Every confirmed gift also appears on our live giving board.
