We are a non-partisan, non-religious, non-profit, non-governmental organization working for the wellbeing of people in Nigeria.
Our story
Arkosic Health and Environmental Initiative began functioning in 2012, with visits to motherless homes and community development services. We focus on the wellbeing of the populace, starting from our immediate community.
We believe that health is wealth, water is life, and a drop of water makes an ocean. This has driven our work ethic and our quest to reach more lives.
We do not discriminate by race or gender. We focus on solving problems, not apportioning blame. Through collaboration, we strive to ensure that children, women and vulnerable people are saved from the sting of poverty and lack. Since we began, we have held high our banner of selfless service to improve the lives of people in Nigeria.
Registered and accountable
We are duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, the Federal Inland Revenue Service and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, as a Designated Non-Financial Institution compliant with anti-money-laundering rules.
