About us

Our story

Neem Foundation is a leading crisis response organisation committed to promoting the protection and wellbeing of populations and communities living in contexts affected by conflict, violence, and fragility.

We strengthen the resilience and capacity of crisis-affected communities acrossNigeria and the Lake Chad Basin region to adopt inclusive approaches to recovery from the effects of instability and mitigate future crises. We achieve these by providing and raising the standards of mental health and psychosocial support for trauma-affected populations. We design and deliver reintegration and stabilisation services that target displaced communities as well as former associates of violent armed groups. Through our communications and advocacy work, we influence narratives and collaborate with credible stakeholders to promote social cohesion, reconciliation, and community action to maintain peace and progress. Our education component advocates for, and improves access to, quality education for marginalised and disadvantaged groups, especially girls, while our research work leverages key partnerships with global research institutions to inform evidence-based approaches to crisis interventions.
