| The Isaac Moghalu Memorial Library |
| Rural communities in Nigeria do not have libraries, thus denying students the opportunity to engage in research. Subject to the availability of funds, the Isaac Moghalu Foundation plans to construct an Isaac Moghalu Memorial Library that will provide professional library resources (including information technology) and services to a number of communities in Anambra State of Nigeria. |
