Who We Are

Jireh Doo Foundation was founded in 2003 and became operational in the same year, JDF’s uniqueness lies in her interventions for poor and excluded communities including services to single women and their children, orphans and vulnerable children with special considerations for those orphaned by HIV, persons living with HIV, displaced persons due to manmade or natural disasters/conflict, youth as well as advocating for favourable policies for this target group.

We make a particular effort to nurture partnerships with public institutions, non-governmental organisations and agencies towards improving the lives of women, children, young people and other marginalized populations through participation, service delivery, fund-raising, capacity building and networking amongst others in the achievement of sustainable development. JDF with 18 years of community implementation has consciously strived to reach the underreached and vulnerable populations in Nigeria.

The Kwara, Nasarawa, Gombe and Borno field offices were established because of this drive. the cardinal objectives of the organisations include: improving the livelihood of the marginalized and their communities, provision of purposeful and transparent leadership in the management of resources, strengthening the capacity of our stakeholders to respond to their socio-economic challenges, providing support for survivors of gender-based violence or responding adequately to the needs of the distressed in our community.
