Our Guiding Principles

We are the one of the organisation in Nigeria providing practical support (and sometimes more importantly a listening ear) to those unfortunate enough to have contracted polio when babies or young children. We act according to best practice and in line with our Code of Conduct. Sensitivity, empathy and confidentiality are central to our communication with polio survivors. Polio survivors are encouraged and enabled to live their lives with dignity.

We are member led and polio survivors are central to our work. Services and supports are provided based on needs identified through consultation with members, fairly and within the financial capacity of the charity. We advocate where we can for Social Policy change to encompass the needs of polio survivors. We cooperate and collaborate with other stakeholders, as appropriate. Polio Survivors Nigeria was set up in 2018, as Post Polio support foundation.
