Because Only Together We Can Empower Adolescents for a Healthier Future
Through our 8-month Pilot Study in FCT, Nigeria, WFI is reducing the risk factors of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) by promoting healthy lifestyles among adolescents — in homes, schools, and communities.
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.
