About us
Who We Are
The Foundation for Justice and Social Development (FJSD) is a dynamic, community-focused organization dedicated to creating sustainable, impactful change for marginalized communities in Nigeria. Established in 2007, we are driven by the belief that justice, equality, and dignity are the rights of every individual. Through innovative programs and partnerships, FJSD works tirelessly to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and social injustice, empowering individuals and communities to unlock their full potential.
Our Story
Founded in 2007, FJSD was established in response to the pressing need for a dedicated organization to tackle the systemic challenges faced by Nigeria’s marginalized populations. What started as a small initiative to provide vocational training to women has evolved into a nationwide movement focused on livelihoods development, gender equality, economic inclusion, and health. Over the years, FJSD has impacted thousands of lives, building resilience and fostering hope in underserved communities across the country.
