About Awifca
Arewa Women Initiative For Climate Change Advocacy and Environmental Sustainability (AWIFCA) is a women-led, non-governmental organisation based in Northern Nigeria, dedicated to tackling climate change through education, advocacy, empowerment, and local action.
Since our establishment in 2020, we have planted thousands of trees, empowered students and teachers across Kano State with environmental education, and advocated for access to clean energy and water in underserved communities. From our tree-planting campaigns in Karfi and Yusuf Maitama Sule University, to our research and outreach efforts with NESREA and global partners like SUKHI222, AWIFCA continues to drive change at the grassroots.
We believe that empowering women and communities is central to building a climate-resilient future. Together, we’re nurturing a greener, healthier, and more sustainable Northern Nigeria.
