Our story

We go where the need is greatest.

NEYIF has operational offices across North-East and North-West Nigeria, with its headquarters in Damaturu, Yobe State. We work in difficult and hard-to-reach environments to improve the welfare and status of young people, women, children, girls, orphans, people with disabilities, minorities, displaced people, refugees, and older people.

Our teams identify, register, track, and support conflict-affected, at-risk, and host communities through humanitarian assistance and long-term development programs.

We combine local knowledge with accountable delivery, collaboration, and the careful use of resources.
