Ascending Health Foundation
Ascending Health Foundation(AHF) is a Non-governmental Organization(NGO) incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria. AHF is an affiliate of Bridging-Health Intl (BHI). Together they work collaboratively with BHI to drive the mission and vision the overall organizational goals.
A book titled " Inequality in a Rapidly Changing World "published by World Health Organization (UN) , highlighted the deeper divide in rural communities. It further reports an increase in the number of out-of-school children in rural areas of Nigeria (UN, 2020).
In a bid to bridge this gap, AHF with its parent organization are in a collaborative drive to advance programs targeted at mitigating inequalities and inequities in vulnerable populations and communities in Nigeria with particular interest in rural communities. We are poised to improve rural health and serve the underserved.
"Where people live exerts a strong influence on their opportunities in life including access to safe drinking water, electricity, health care, good schools, decent work and other goals envisioned in the 2030 Agenda. Inequalities related to location – also known as “spatial inequalities” – can be extreme between rural and urban areas, especially in developing countries" (United Nations, 2020).
Food, water, and shelter are necessities of life and vital to health and well-being. The prevalence of health inequity continues to be a challenge cross countries and within countries. Rural disadvantages have persisted. AHF in collaboration with its affiliate - BHI (USA) is dedicated to contribute towards the improvement of the quality of life and well-being in marginalized communities through outreach programs.
