Who We Are
A community-driven, people-first non-profit organisation built on the belief that no Nigerian should be left behind.
How It Started
Arise Nigeria Foundation was founded in 2018 by Ngozi Adeyemi, who witnessed firsthand the gap between the help people needed and the help that was available. Starting with a small food distribution effort in Mushin, the organisation grew quickly because the need was real and the community response was overwhelming.
Over the years, we have expanded from emergency relief into structured programmes in education, health, and livelihood — because we learned that sustainable change requires more than a one-time intervention.
Today, Arise Nigeria Foundation is a registered non-profit with a full team, a network of volunteers, and partnerships with government bodies, hospitals, and international organisations.
What Drives Us
To empower underserved Nigerians through education, healthcare, and economic support — creating self-sufficient individuals and stronger communities.
A Nigeria where every person — regardless of where they were born or how much money their family has — can access the basics they need to live a dignified life.
