Project HOPE Nigeria (People-to-People Health Foundation)

Project HOPE is a leading global health and humanitarian organization with over 65 years of experience transforming the health and well-being of communities around the world. 

Nigeria is home to an urgent health and humanitarian crisis: nearly 8 million people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance, 80% of whom are women and children. It has the second highest infant mortality rate and the fourth highest maternal mortality rate in the world. Poverty is widespread and 26.5 million people are projected to face acute hunger in 2024. Nigeria has also experienced over a decade of armed conflict, which has resulted in around 3 million internally displaced people (IDPs). Health needs are widespread, with the most serious health threats including food insecurity and infectious diseases such as malaria and HIV/AIDS, but the country’s health system suffers from poor infrastructure and a health worker shortage.
