Fundraising Initiatives
The Elkheir Healthcare Foundation, led by women, is a youth organisation committed to advocating for improving pregnant women's and girls' health outcomes. We aim to champion various programs and initiatives that empower and support them. One such initiative is our SPW Campaign, a ground-breaking effort to tackle maternal health disparities in Nigeria head-on. Despite the government's neglect of health as a fundamental human right, many Nigerian communities and expectant mothers face significant financial and healthcare barriers, leading to tragic outcomes such as maternal and newborn mortality. Our approach involves engaging in community health awareness sessions targeting vulnerable groups to improve medical knowledge, bridge gaps in education, and encourage community involvement in identifying pregnancy-related complications. We have executed two community projects and reached a broad audience through our online advocacy since the beginning of this campaign.
Additionally, our Menstrual Hygiene Management Initiative (MHMI) is dedicated to empowering girls in schools and communities by addressing a crucial aspect of their well-being. We aim to provide access to menstrual hygiene resources, education, and support, ensuring that menstruation does not hinder any girl's progress. Through breaking taboos and raising awareness, we aim to create environments where girls can confidently embrace their femininity, focus on their education, and flourish in their communities.
