A Nigerian NGO building the capacity of people, communities and institutions to thrive.
By 2030, HTYF aims for vulnerable communities across Nigeria — orphans and vulnerable children, women, youth, and men — to experience lasting improvements in health and livelihood, backed by stronger public and private institutions and an accountable organization built to sustain that change.
Heal The Youth Foundation is a Nigerian NGO and a non-profit organization established in 2003. Our work is streamlined into three themes — Health & Vulnerable Children, Economic Empowerment, and Institutional Strengthening — each designed to address root causes, not just symptoms, of underdevelopment.
