SRHR Project Officer at Alimat Care Foundation

Alimat Care Foundation (ACF) is a youth-led, non-governmental organization established in 2020 and officially registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in 2022. The organization works to advance the rights, welfare, and empowerment of women and girls in Northeast Nigeria, with a strong focus on underserved and conflict-affected communities.

ACF designs and implements comprehensive, evidence-based programmes rooted in the principles of Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) and Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI). Our work spans girls’ education, prevention of violence and harmful practices, youth leadership, climate justice, and women’s empowerment. We strive to create enabling environments where girls are protected, educated, empowered, and supported to thrive and actively contribute to their communities.

ACF’s vision is a society where every girl—regardless of background, location, or circumstance—is valued, respected, and empowered to reach her full potential. Our mission is driven by the belief that educated, protected, and empowered girls can transform communities and break cycles of poverty and inequality.
