Mandate
CANA mandate
CANA is a family-governed foundation focused on health, education, and livelihoods in Enugu, delivering stability through defined programmes and partner-led delivery.
Problem definition
Household stability gaps
Households lose access to schooling, care, and income when shocks occur because support is fragmented and poorly timed.
The mandate defines scope, criteria, and exclusions so that support is structured, documented, and reviewed.
Methodology
Mandate statements
The mandate is expressed through concise statements that guide every programme and decision.
The foundation stabilises households experiencing hardship by delivering targeted assistance that is documented, time-bound, and reviewed.
Programmes are designed to prevent the loss of schooling, health access, or housing when a household faces a shock. Each programme sets criteria, reporting cadence, and review checkpoints.
Delivery is channelled through accountable partners so that support remains traceable and governed under agreed standards.
The foundation maintains a calm, institutional posture: no campaign language, no urgency appeals, and a focus on reliability over volume.
