Brief History

Since inception in 2010, we have operated as a local implementing partner serving vulnerable and marginalized populations in hard-to-reach and low- and middle-income settings across Nigeria with support from multi-lateral organizations, local and international foundations.

We have a proven track record in the design of innovative strategies and community intervention models, as well as demonstrable strength and capability in multi-stakeholder engagement and management across national and sub-national levels.
