Founded in Nigeria in 1985, SFH operates today as a network of five country offices and four specialised programme entities — working alongside communities, governments, donors, and the private sector to bring quality, affordable health care to the families who need it most.

Working hand-in-hand with communities, government ministries, donors, and the private sector — from frontline clinics to national policy.
SFH was founded in 1985 by three eminent Nigerians — a paediatrician, a pharmacist, and a jurist — bound by a shared conviction that quality, affordable family health care belonged in every community.
