Introduction
About Us
Achievers Improved Health Initiative (AIHI) is a Nonprofit organization founded in 2014, duly registered with the Nigerian Corporate Affairs commission (CAC) and began full operation in 2019 to address the health, rights and wellbeing needs of all persons including diverse marginalized communities in Nigeria.
Our primary purpose was to provide quality information and access to services that would reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS, non-conforming identities, and improve quality of life.
Today, our work has expanded to incorporate broader aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, Non-Communicable Diseases awareness and care, mental health, empowerment, advocacy, and we have adopted Feminist principles to drive actionable steps towards strategic movement building, inclusion, dismantling of biases, advocacy and transformative leadership in the full realization of human rights.
AIHI understands that discrimination against persons living with HIV intersects with other sources of discrimination including ethnicity, ability, accessibility, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and sociocultural background, which can further limit access and deepen inequalities.
We are committed to transforming lives and securing the future of young and vulnerable individuals as well as communities that are most affected by HIV incidence and other health conditions that affect the lives of people in Nigeria
OUR VISION
A world where diverse marginalized/minority persons are treated with dignity and respect, and are fully empowered to make healthy choices.
Our Mission
In cultivating a welcoming and safe environment where community members can thrive, AIHI works to protect and promote the rights, independence, dignity, health and well-being of diverse marginalized/minority persons.
