Our Mission

About EndoSurvivors

We are a non-profit organization

EndoSurvivors International Foundation (ESIF) was established in 2018. ESIF is committed to raising awareness about endometriosis, reducing diagnostic delays, advocating for better care; whilst providing educational, psychosocial and financial support to women living with the disease through our Endometriosis Support Group. ESIF also strives to promote menstrual hygiene and end period poverty through the free distribution of sanitary pads to schoolgirls. Till date, we have distributed over 11,000 packs of sanitary pads to beneficiaries.

Our mission is to reduce the burden of endometriosis in Nigeria, through education, research, advocacy, and patient support; while pursuing improved quality of care for endometriosis patients.  Through our activities we aim to increase public awareness, influence policy as well as promote the exchange of best practice and evidence-based information regarding endometriosis and adenomyosis in Nigeria.

Our vision is to improve the lives of girls/women; and change the narrative about endometriosis in Africa.

These core values guide our actions as we work hard to improve the lives of girls and women: 

1. Integrity
2. Respect
3. Excellence
4. Empathy
