About ESERC
Economic and Social Empowerment of Rural Communities (ESERC) is a non-profit organisation committed to improving the lives of vulnerable populations across Nigeria. We focus on empowering women, children, and groups through health care, education, advocacy, and interventions tailored to local needs and realities in rural communities.
We implement programmes that promote child protection, gender equality, HIV/AIDS awareness, and empowerment. Through partnerships, we provide essential services and support for orphans, vulnerable children, and women affected by poverty, harmful practices, and limited access to education and healthcare across Nigeria’s rural regions.
ESERC also advocates for governance, rights, and climate sustainability by engaging communities in awareness campaigns, policy dialogues, and development initiatives. We promote inclusive systems, impact, and measurable growth by applying evidence-based approaches, monitoring and evaluation, and grassroots involvement in all interventions.
Areas of Focus

We expand access to quality healthcare in rural areas through rights-based advocacy, RMNCH services, community health structures, and stakeholder engagement.
