About Us
The Africa Environmental Health Organization (AFREHO) is a Nigeria‑based nonprofit with a clear continental mission: to protect life by strengthening the connection between people and their environment. Founded in response to the environmental realities shaping Africa today — and the emerging challenges that will define the future — AFREHO is building a platform designed to grow across borders and generations.
We work to improve the environmental conditions that influence daily living: access to clean water, safe sanitation, healthy housing, sustainable waste systems, climate‑resilient communities, and environments that support human wellbeing. Our approach blends scientific insight, community participation, and policy leadership to deliver solutions that remain relevant as societies evolve and environmental pressures intensify.
At AFREHO, we believe environmental health is a lifelong responsibility — a continuous commitment to safeguarding the places where people live, learn, work, and thrive. This belief drives our focus on practical engagement, innovation, capacity building, and partnerships that endure beyond the present moment.
AFREHO stands today as a national institution with a continental vision, and tomorrow as a global partner for environmental health excellence — shaping a future where every person can enjoy a healthy environment and a dignified quality of life.
