Empowering Voices Africa (EVA) is a nonprofit organization established in 2000 to improve the health and development of children and young people in Nigeria. As a youth-led initiative, EVA collaborates with children and young people to advocate for their rights to health and protection from violence, particularly in vulnerable and marginalized communities.
EVA is a proud recipient of a grant from UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency. UNFPA’s mission is to ensure every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and every young person’s potential is fulfilled. Its reproductive health commodities supply program covers all 36 states of Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
This partnership supports UNFPA’s goals to end preventable maternal mortality, address unmet needs for family planning, and eliminate gender-based violence and harmful practices. Together, EVA and UNFPA are driving progress in reproductive health and youth empowerment, fostering healthier and safer communities across Nigeria.
