ABOUT US
Princess Moradeun Ogunlana started AWHPI in 1999 after a trip to her native land Nigeria where she witnessed an incredible lack of basic medical supplies. Accompanied by founding board member, Dr. Babajide Ogunlana, Princess Deun Ogunlana returned from this journey determined to address this shortage all too prevalent in the developing world. Armed with the knowledge that an estimated $9 billion in medical surplus is produced annually in the US, Princess Ogunlana, along with Dr. Ogunlana and three other board members established and incorporated the African Women’s Health Project International on September 2003 in Arkansas to give this surplus a new purpose. www.awhpi.org
