Who we are

Local roots. Lasting change.

FRAD Foundation is a youth-led nonprofit addressing humanitarian and development challenges in Nigeria. We focus on the people most often left behind: women, children, persons with disabilities and displaced families.

Guided by the Sustainable Development Goals and the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, we deliver community-driven solutions in protection, nutrition, WASH, education, livelihoods and peacebuilding, using locally available solutions that communities own.

I may not walk like others, but I can move people. And that’s what matters to me.

Stories of resilience

Real words from people we work with. Some names are changed to protect identities.

For years, my children couldn’t enroll in school because they lacked birth certificates. They supported us through the process, and today, all my children have their birth certificates.
Musa Adamu SuleLegal identity support, Bolori Ward, Maiduguri
Now my child is normal again, without complications. We are receiving care at the FRAD Foundation OTP, and her MUAC keeps improving.
Fatima IbrahimMother, nutrition programme, Gwoza
The assistance from FRAD Foundation and the donor has truly supported me and my children.
Magdalene InnocentAnticipatory flood cash, Borromji, Adamawa
I may not walk like others, but I can move people. And that’s what matters to me.
Bana FaliNutrition volunteer, Magumeri
The project didn’t just give me a wheelchair; it gave me a sense of dignity and a voice. I feel seen, valued, and empowered to help others.
Aisha JalingoDisability inclusion, Damagum, Yobe
Before, I could only watch other kids play. Now, I can go to school and play with them too. I feel like I can do anything.
Ali, 12Assistive Device Program
I had lost hope. But FRAD showed me I wasn’t alone.
Zara AbbaFlood recovery, Goni Kachallari
FRAD has been my supporting factor. They gave me dignity kits, enrolled me in psychosocial support and livelihood activities, and trained me in cap knitting and crocheting. I am no longer worthless.

This support has lifted a burden from me. Now I serve my community with knowledge, confidence, and pride.

If not because of FRAD volunteers, we could have died not knowing Mine Action.

Emergency response

Crisis doesn’t wait. Neither do we.

When fire swept through the Fariya Gidan block IDP camp in Maiduguri on 18 March 2024, our team was assessing needs the very next day and delivering kits, water and shelter items soon after. When floods hit Maiduguri and Jere in September 2024, we ran cooked-meal programmes in five camps and set up mobile malnutrition treatment.

A gift to our emergency response lets us move the moment disaster strikes.
