About the Integrated Development and Peace (IDP) Project

Nigeria has over 2 million displaced people who are mostly young people .With our  integrated development and peace project , Slum and Rural Health Initiative is empowering young people with physical and mental health skills.

We also teach these people young people living in refugee camps on leadership and relationship skills to further equip them and provide a room for them to flourish.

Integrating healthcare information and services with sports have been an innovative approach to keep young people engaged with our IDP project.
