About us

A caregiver supporting an elderly person
Our story

Support to the Elderly and Weak Initiative (SEWI) is committed to improving the quality of life for elderly individuals and vulnerable populations.

Founded to address the realities facing older Nigerians, SEWI works to restore dignity, promote inclusion and enhance wellbeing for seniors and the weak.

In Nigeria, many older adults are faced with poverty, limited access to affordable healthcare, chronic conditions, social isolation and inadequate formal support systems. SEWI responds with compassionate, community-led programmes that provide care, advocacy and practical support where it is most needed.
