Who We Are
Women Friendly Initiative (WFI) is a Nigerian NGO championing the health and rights of women, girls, and adolescents. Backed by global partners like JICA, WFI implements evidence-based interventions that drive sustainable change across families, schools, and communities.
WFI (We Fight Injustice) is a registered non-governmental organization committed to restoring dignity and opportunity to underserved communities by addressing the root causes of inequality.
Through inclusive, gender-responsive programs in health education, adolescent empowerment, and community wellness, WFI believes in grassroots-driven change that fosters healthy, thriving generations—starting from schools and families, and growing outward into entire communities.
Our current flagship – the Community-Based Wellness Initiative – is redefining adolescent health in FCT by tackling NCD risk factors with a gender-sensitive lens.
What We Do
Our Intervention Approach
We deliver real impact by integrating health education and behavior change strategies into the everyday lives of young people and their families. Our 3-pronged model includes:
— Family-Based Intervention
Engaging families in adopting and supporting healthier diets and active living for adolescents through education and shared goal tracking.
— School-Based Intervention
Empowering students and educators with gender-sensitive healthy lifestyle curricula, teacher trainings, steering committees, and recreational activities.
— Community-Based Engagement
Forging school-community alliances through townhall sessions, health screenings, parent-teacher involvement, and outreach campaigns.
