State Offices

These state offices are supported technically by the headquarters. Since its establishment, the organization has successfully contributed to the improvement in the health and development of over 1,000,000 children and young people in Nigeria.

The organization was founded on the premise that children and young people can play a significant role in development if given the necessary resources. In line with this principle, EVA has full-time staff and volunteers distributed across six states, who are mainly young people. 

These young people are directly responsible for developing intervention ideas and implementing the projects in the field.  The utilization of this strategy has facilitated community entry and sustained the interest/participation of young people in its activities.
