Oyemam Autoimmune foundation
About Us
Oyemam Autoimmune Foundation (OYEMAM) is a duly registered non-profit organization that is committed to inspiring hope in people affected directly or indirectly by autoimmune diseases. We demonstrate our commitment through advocacy, raising awareness, education, counselling as well as fundraising to provide support services such as medical assistance among others for people with autoimmune diseases.
our history
The vision of OYEMAM was born in the year 2011 out of a personal experience of suffering from multiple autoimmune diseases, the lessons learnt and the consequent passion to be part of the solution to others (especially young people) going through similar challenges.
Most people are not aware that an autoimmune disease is a likely problem that they may come across in life. Autoimmune diseases can attack anybody, and are increasingly becoming as prevalent as other well-known diseases. Many people are suffering from autoimmune conditions that they are either unaware of or have misconceptions about.
Often times, precious lives are lost as a result of lack of awareness, wrong or late diagnosis and delayed or poor treatment. If left unchecked, an autoimmune disease can interfere in a person’s life by causing a little nuisance up to the extent of completely denying a person from living a meaningful life.
Inspiring Hope
It may seem hopeless when an autoimmune condition like lupus strikes out of the blue. Indeed it is hopeless when there is no knowledge and support. However, we can all help sufferers of autoimmune disorders manage their conditions well enough to live normal lives.
OYEMAM IS INSPIRING HOPE TO LIVE ON!
