Action Health Incorporated (AHI) is a pioneering non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving the health of Nigerian adolescents.

We are concerned about the prevailing appalling status of adolescent reproductive and sexual health, and have taken on the mandate to serve as a catalyst for change. Over the past sixteen years, we have implemented activities that have affected several thousand adolescents across the country and continue to strive to create awareness on the status of adolescent health in Nigeria and the need to take immediate positive action among parents, policy makers, and the community at large.
