about us

Olivehill Development Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating sustainable change in Nigeria by addressing three fundamental pillars of development: education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Established with a vision to uplift underserved communities, we recognize that lasting transformation begins with access to quality education, equitable healthcare, and economic opportunities that empower individuals to build better futures.
At Olivehill, we go beyond charity; we are architects of systemic solutions, committed to tackling the root causes of inequality and poverty. Through our targeted interventions, we bridge critical gaps in Nigeria’s development landscape, ensuring that the most vulnerable populations receive the support they need to thrive.

Our Vision

A world where every underserved community thrives, with every child empowered through education, every family supported by accessible, quality healthcare, and every young person equipped to drive transformative change.

Our Mission

We empower underserved communities by bridging critical gaps in healthcare and education, unlocking youth potential to drive lasting change, and ensuring every vulnerable individual receives the care and opportunities they deserve.

Our Thematic Areas

Education

Education should be a direct pathway to economic empowerment. Olive Development Initiative believes that technical and vocational training is key to solving unemployment and driving economic transformation, just as it has in countries like China, where vocational education has fueled industrial growth and reduced poverty. By equipping young people with market-relevant skills, we ensure that education leads to livelihoods and sustainable development.Our goal is to equip individuals with in-demand skills that lead to job creation and self-sufficiency.

Healthcare

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation with over 227 million residents, faces profound challenges in delivering equitable and quality healthcare, especially to its underserved communities. The nation’s healthcare system is burdened by inadequate infrastructure, a significant shortage of medical professionals, insufficient funding, and systemic inefficiencies, all of which severely impede access to essential health services.

Youth Empowerment

With over 60% of its population under the age of 30, Nigeria stands at a critical juncture where the potential of its youth remains largely untapped due to pervasive unemployment and underemployment. As of 2023, approximately 33% of this demographic are unemployed, reflecting a significant challenge in integrating young Nigerians into the workforce. African Liberty.

the issue

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a silent epidemic in Nigeria, affecting millions of people, yet access to life-saving dialysis remains a luxury many cannot afford. According to the Nigerian Association of Nephrology (NAN), over 25 million Nigerians are living with CKD, with an estimated 100,000 new cases annually. However, due to financial constraints, only about 10% of patients who require dialysis can afford consistent treatment, leading to high mortality rates (World Kidney Day Nigeria, 2024).

Dialysis session costs average ₦50,000 in government hospitals and significantly higher in private facilities. Patients require at least two to three sessions per week, amounting to about ₦600,000 per month, a figure beyond reach for the over 38.9% of Nigerians living below the poverty line (World Bank, 2024).

The escalating prevalence of CKD in Nigeria, coupled with the exorbitant costs of treatment and inadequate healthcare infrastructure, underscores a pressing public health crisis.

Our Approach

Recognizing this pressing issue, Olivehill Development Initiative’s Dialysis Support Project is a bold response to this crisis, offering financial aid, advocacy, and patient support for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in underserved communities. In the pilot project of this dialysis support project, “Project 35,” the Foundation provided fully funded dialysis sessions for 35 patients with End Stage Renal Disease (Chronic Kidney Disease) for 3 months.

At Olivehill Development Initiative, we recognize that healthcare is not a privilege, it is a fundamental right. We are committed to bridging the healthcare gap by designing practical, scalable, and impactful interventions that ensure equitable access to quality healthcare for the most vulnerable populations.

Our healthcare programs focus on:
