Endometriosis is not only a woman’s problem, but a disease that affects the entire family – with a huge economic impact on the workplace and society.

Patients are often sidetracked by the wrong diagnosis of a chronic nature, resulting in them going through unnecessary treatments and multiple surgeries. Educating both the public and the medical community leads to early diagnosis, early intervention and favourable outcomes for patients.
ESIF strives to improve the lives of girls/women living with endometriosis in Nigeria, and change the narrative about endometriosis in Africa.
ESIF seeks to promote menstrual hygiene and tackle period poverty in Nigeria, through the free distribution of sanitary pads.

Joining the Endometriosis Support Group has been more than a blessing. The connections, the friends I have made, the financial support and all manner of support.I have learned a lot from the other sisters and doctors that attend our programs. I am so excited to be a volunteer as well, educating the younger ones about endometriosis so they don't go through what I have gone through.

EndoSurvivors International Foundation has given me sisters who relate with what another is going through. This understanding of another's plight is beyond textbook or from a third party experience. EndoSurvivors International Foundation is a community of sisters lifting, encouraging and helping one another.

I discovered and joined EndoSurvivors International Foundation in 2018/2019 after 5 surgeries and just before my 6th surgery. I had my 5th surgery and for the first time histopathology report revealed Endometriosis; it was my first time coming across the word. The search began to understand what that meant as a diagnosis and for my general wellbeing going forward. Thankfully, I came across EndoSurvivors International Foundation online, and joined the Support Group. This discovery equipped me with more information/education, trainings, psychosocial support and exposure but most importantly a medical family constantly reminding me that " I AM NOT ALONE". Consequently, I am most grateful for growth from being just a member to a Volunteer Serving and representing the Foundation during her Outreaches to Schools in the FCT. This brings me so much fulfillment championing awareness about Endometriosis.
