Silver Lining for the Needy Initiative (SLNI) is an indigenous non-profit organization established in 2009 to promote the spread of humanitarian aid among the impoverished through its broad spectrum of projects and activities. Founded on the belief that everyone has a right to good health and better standards of living, our activities focus on community development with an emphasis on alleviating the inequalities in health and social status affecting the less privileged of our society including women, orphans and vulnerable children.

Our overall goal is to ensure that no mother dies needlessly in childbirth or as a result of pregnancy related issues and that no child is denied of basic social and health rights. Over the past few years, we have demonstrated unprecedented success in delivering awareness, education and other social and health interventions at the community level in various states in Nigeria. SLNI was granted special consultative status in 2021 by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations (UN), the highest status to be granted to an NGO outlined in Article 71 of the UN charter. Our mission is to implement projects aimed at realizing the dream of living above the limitations of society.
