Strategic Plan

Strategic Steps
Towards a Brighter
Tomorrow

The goal of our strategic plan is to ensure POY Foundation focuses on its priorities particularly on empowering women. Recognizing the unique ability of women to nurture and contribute to the well-being of their families, we aim to equip them with the necessary experience and knowledge to thrive in their evolving societal landscape. POY’s commitment to compassion, dignity, and inclusive support is reflected in ensuring that those facing the greatest barriers receive the nourishment and care needed to live healthier, more secure lives.
Our primary healthcare focus is on enhancing women physical and mental well-being through preventative care and mental health counseling.

To effectively address poverty in all its forms, our strategic plan emphasizes adequate resource allocation for our work. We also strive to establish partnerships with communities and other philanthropic organizations.

Strategic Plan contd.

Challenges:

  • The primary concern for most Nigerian women is meeting the basic needs of their families. As a result, health advocacy efforts—especially those targeting adult women in their post-reproductive years—often receive low priority. Critical topics such as healthy nutrition, cancer prevention, and mental health support for issues like abuse and domestic violence are not adequately addressed.
  • Empowerment initiatives, including outreach, health education, skills acquisition, and business start-ups, face significant hurdles such as inconsistent power supply, limited access to clean water, poor sanitation and hygiene, and competing financial demands.

Opportunities:
 

  • Within the communities where POY operates, there is a pool of highly motivated and dedicated women seeking opportunities to unleash their God-given potential.
  • Additionally, POY has willing partners who are committed to serving their communities. Together, these opportunities provide a strong foundation for impactful and sustainable change.
