Welcome Address
Welcome to Esangbedo Humanitarian Foundation (EHF)! What began during my time at Shell Nigeria as the National Coordinator for the Shell Women’s Network (SWN) and as a passion project at Teasoo Consulting Limited has grown into a vital foundation dedicated to addressing some of Nigeria’s most pressing social issues.
We witness firsthand the challenges faced by our younger generation, from the perils of irregular migration, human trafficking, and exploitation to the dangers of drug abuse, cultism, and other social vices. These issues tear at the fabric of our society, leaving countless individuals and families vulnerable.
At EHF, we believe in bridging gaps and building a better future for generations to come. This is the core of our mission, reflected in our slogan: Bridging Gaps, Building Futures.
We understand that the issues we deal with—irregular migration, human trafficking, cultism, and drug abuse—cannot be tackled singlehandedly. That’s why collaboration forms the cornerstone of our approach. We work alongside dedicated partners, organizations, and individuals who share our vision of a brighter future. Together, we can create more holistic solutions to curb these issues.
We believe that together, we can make the world a much better place. Join us in this critical endeavor as we strive to bridge gaps and build a stronger, more hopeful future for Nigeria.
Welcome aboard!
