Evidence-based.
Study needs before acting, and measure what changes afterwards.
About the Foundation
Health, learning and the chance to earn a decent living. The essentials that help shape a person’s future.
Our storyRooted in community
The Abdulaziz Yari Foundation exists to widen access to health, education and economic opportunity in Nigeria.
We work with primary health centres, schools and small enterprises, combining direct support with the systems that help progress endure. Communities help shape the work; understanding what changes helps guide what comes next.
Our vision and mission
How we work
Study needs before acting, and measure what changes afterwards.
Let communities shape the work. Dignity, not dependency, is the standard.
Be clear about progress, spending and setbacks.
Work alongside government, local organisations and partners.
Our identity
Our mark places people within a framework of support. The geometric patterns across our identity draw on Northern Nigerian and Arewa heritage.
Together, they connect where the work begins with the people and communities it serves.
