Why We Exist

Nigeria continues to face complex challenges affecting women and children, including poverty, poor access to healthcare, gender-based violence, child neglect, and limited educational opportunities.

These challenges disproportionately affect girls and women in underserved communities. WHDI was established to respond to these realities.
