About AGEBETTER INITIATIVE

Building stronger communities through collaborative action

We are a registered Nigerian nonprofit organization dedicated to sustainable poverty alleviation through evidence-based, community-led programs.

Our Story

AGEBETTER INITIATIVE was founded in April 2025 by a group of passionate Nigerian professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations. Recognizing the growing challenges of poverty and inequality in our communities, we came together to create sustainable solutions.

Though newly established, our organization is built on years of collective experience in community development, social work, and nonprofit management. We focus on evidence-based interventions that address the root causes of poverty through integrated programs.

Currently operating in Abuja, we have reached over 250 beneficiaries in our first 8 months through partnerships with 3 local community organizations. Our approach emphasizes community participation, dignity, and measurable outcomes as we build a foundation for sustainable growth.
