For us, the CANA Foundation is not just a charitable organization

But a responsibility and a duty born out of love. Despite moving from Nigeria to Australia, we have never forgotten our roots and the hardships faced by many in our home communities. Through the CANA Foundation, we are able to use our resources and talents to make a difference in the lives of children and families in need.

The CANA Foundation is a reflection of our strong Christian beliefs and our commitment to serving others. By providing children with education, healthcare, and opportunities for growth and development, we are helping to create a brighter future for all. Join us in our mission to empower children and communities through the love of Christ.

For us, the CANA Foundation is not just a charitable organization

Governance framework

CANA is a family-governed foundation delivering programme support through defined approvals, controls, and policy oversight in Enugu.

Problem definition

Programme oversight gaps

Programme delivery fails without clear approvals and policy controls, resulting in inconsistent decisions and weak documentation.

The governance framework establishes decision rights, documentation requirements, and review cycles so that delivery remains consistent and auditable.

Methodology

Governance method

Governance is executed through board oversight, policy controls, and documented review cycles.

Board oversight

Board members review programme approvals, controls, and policy compliance on a defined cadence.

Policy register

Policies are maintained as published artefacts with versioning and review status.

Review cadence

Reporting cycles record decisions, deviations, and corrective actions.
