About Neglected But Not Dejected
An initiative dedicated to changing and improving lives of internally displaced persons across Nigeria.
Our Mission
The mission of the initiative is to raise awareness among government bodies and NGOs and to bring positive change to the lives of those who have been neglected by society. Initially established as temporary shelters for people displaced due to insurgency, floods, and inter-tribal conflicts mainly from the northeastern part of Nigeria, these camps have unfortunately now become neglected and permanent residences for thousands of individuals across Nigeria.
Our Focus Areas
Healthcare Initiatives
The focus of the initiative has been on major health issues, particularly malaria, which has had a significant impact on pregnant women and children under age five in IDP communities.
Research & Data
Our research team investigated the prevalence of malaria in these camps, discovering alarming rates of infection in various IDP communities across Abuja.
Partnerships & Collaboration
We have successfully partnered with various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international humanitarian organizations to provide essential resources.
Education & Empowerment
Recognizing the high birth rates among the women in these communities, we have also provided education on the use of contraceptives to promote family planning.
By addressing these urgent health issues and fostering partnerships with key organizations, The Neglected but Not Dejected Initiative is making significant progress in improving the living conditions and health outcomes for displaced persons in Abuja.
