Delivering Quality Primary Healthcare to Nigerian Schools and Communities
In Nigeria, millions of children face an invisible barrier to education: poor health. Every day, students drop out or miss school because they lack access to basic healthcare. At Health For Nigeria (HFN), we believe no child should lose their future due to preventable illnesses.

From the Founder’s Desk
At Health For Nigeria, our mission is deeply personal. Every day, we witness the challenges children face when healthcare is out of reach. We see bright, eager students forced out of classrooms by illnesses that could have been prevented or treated.
This is why we started HFN: to bridge the gap between education and health. Over the past decade, we’ve worked tirelessly to place nurses in schools, build health awareness, and create safe spaces for care. We’ve seen firsthand how a simple intervention: a nurse’s presence, a health club meeting, a stocked sickbay, can transform lives.
But there’s still more to do. With your support, we can reach more schools, train more nurses, and ensure that no child misses out on learning because of preventable illness.
Join us. Partner with us. Together, we can build a healthier Nigeria — one child at a time.
