SOCIETY FOR HEALTH ENLIGHTENMENT INITIATIVE (So - Healthi) is a non-governmental organization (NGO), a non-profit, citizen-based group that functions independently of government in Nigeria. We are driven by a mission to "create awareness on healthy lifestyle and the right to quality health care access in Africa, these being the bedrock of longevity, poverty reduction and self-esteem." We work to
enhance the quality of life of people, most especially the unreached in our society, through adequate public sensitization aimed at removing the veil of ignorance, health-wise. We labour to enhance the quality of life our people through knowledge. We focus on only a few issues because we think that’s the best way to have great impact, and we focus on these issues of enlightenment, in particular, because we think they are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives. For each issue we work on, we fund innovative ideas that could help remove these barriers. So-Healthi has carried out health enlightenment campaigns in several rural communities where blood pressure and HIV screening were carried out. We have also organized an informal education programme at Esuk-Atu a riverine community in Calabar Municipality in Cross River State of Nigeria, amongst other campaigns.
