About Us
Who We Are: Humanity in Action, Health as a Right
Isabena Humanitarian Aid Foundation (IHAF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to transforming lives through better health and stronger food systems. What began in 2020 as Isabena Foundation became fully incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in 2024 under Registration Number: CAC/IT/7410185. Our journey is rooted in one conviction: health and food security are not privileges — they are human rights. Yet for millions across Nigeria and beyond, these rights remain out of reach. IHAF exists to close that gap.

Our Strategic Focus
The prevailing needs and gaps within the humanitarian and development sectors in Nigeria are substantial, notably in areas affected by conflict. Isabena Humanitarian Aid Foundation (IHAF), operating as a non- governmental organization in Nigeria, acknowledges the pronounced needs and gaps spanning diverse humanitarian sectors, particularly in regions impacted by conflict. Consequently, to actively contribute to mitigating these challenges and assisting vulnerable populations, IHAF strategically directs its efforts towards the following areas of implementation:
Health (General Health, SRH, and MPHSS)
Enhance overall community health by providing accessible healthcare services, Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), promoting preventive measures, and implementing Mental and Psychosocial Health Support Systems (MPHSS) to strengthen individuals’ mental resilience and well-being.
Nutrition
Improve nutritional outcomes among vulnerable groups, particularly children, women, and the elderly, through community-based nutrition programs that focus on education, sustainable food sources, and health awareness.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
To ensure sustainable access to clean water, promote proper sanitation practices, and instill hygiene awareness within communities to prevent waterborne diseases and improve overall health
Food Security and Livelihood (FSL)
To enhance food security and livelihoods through capacity- building initiatives, sustainable agricultural practices, and income- generating activities to empower communities and reduce vulnerability to poverty.
Protection and GBV (Gender-Based Violence)
Safeguard vulnerable populations, especially women and Children, by raising awareness, providing support services, and advocating for policies that prevent and address Gender-Based Violence, creating safe spaces for all.
Education
Objective: Increase access to quality education for underserved populations, focusing on removing barriers to education, fostering inclusive learning environments, and empowering individuals for personal and community development.
Climate Change
Promote environmental sustainability and resilience by implementing awareness campaigns, community- led adaptation strategies, and advocacy for sustainable practices, contributing to mitigating the impact of climate change on communities
Governance; Conflict Resolution, Disaster Management, and Peacebuilding
Foster good governance, conflict resolution, disaster management, and peacebuilding through capacity- building, community engagement, and advocacy, empowering communities to address conflicts peacefully and manage disasters effectively for sustained peace and development.
Your Support Turns Compassion Into Action
At Isabena Humanitarian Aid Foundation (IHAF), we believe no community should be left behind because of poor health or hunger. Since 2020, we’ve worked to lift health standards and strengthen food security for Nigeria’s most vulnerable — but we cannot do it alone. The Challenge Is Real! Millions still lack access to basic healthcare, nutrition, and health education. Rural mothers walk miles for antenatal care. Children miss school due to preventable illness. Entire communities remain one crisis away from food insecurity.
