About us

we believe in the inherent rights of every woman and girl to full access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including safe abortion care.

GREENER is a women-led, community-based organization in Nigeria dedicated to advancing the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and girls.

Our focus extends to promoting environmental justice, sustainable development, and improving healthcare access for economically marginalized, environment-dependent communities. We are also committed to supporting children, mothers, and women living with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in vulnerable communities by providing education, screenings, treatment access, and awareness programs to reduce stigma and improve health outcomes.

At GREENER, we strive to empower the most vulnerable and socially disadvantaged women and girls, ensuring they have the knowledge, resources, and opportunities to exercise their rights, lead healthier lives, and build more resilient communities.

Our story

Founded with a vision of social and environmental justice, GREENER has been at the forefront of advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), safe abortion care, and sustainable development. We believe that every woman and girl, especially those who are economically marginalized and environment-dependent deserves the knowledge, resources, and freedom to make informed choices about their bodies and futures.

But justice extends beyond reproductive rights. At GREENER, we also champion the rights and well-being of children, mothers, and women living with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in vulnerable communities. For too long, stigma and lack of access to care have placed unnecessary burdens on those living with T1D. Through education, screenings, advocacy, and access to treatment, we work to break barriers, reduce complications, and improve health outcomes for those affected.

With a passionate team and a commitment to lasting change, we strive to eliminate gender-based violence, harmful practices like CEFM and FGM, and health inequalities—all while promoting a sustainable, just world where every woman and girl can thrive, regardless of circumstance.

Our team

Our leadership comprises women from the communities we serve, ensuring that our initiatives are guided by those who understand the unique challenges and needs of these areas. This inclusive and intersectional approach ensures that our programs are not only effective but also culturally sensitive and relevant. By involving community members in leadership and decision-making processes, we ensure that our efforts are grounded in local realities and truly address the needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized women and girls.
