Discover our evidence-based programmes designed to improve public health and WASH outcomes in Nigerian communities.
"Eyes on the ground, data for action."
Our trained community engagement officers conduct standardized monthly assessments of WASH conditions in schools, healthcare facilities, abattoirs, and residential areas across underserved Nigerian communities. Each assessment produces a technical report and a non-technical brief for public awareness.
When our assessments reveal urgent WASH gaps, we mobilise resources to deliver targeted, cost-effective interventions designed for community ownership and long-term sustainability. From handwash station installations to health promotion campaigns, every intervention is informed by our own field data.
"From field data to peer-reviewed evidence and funded innovation."
GESI-affiliated researchers have produced over 30 peer-reviewed publications spanning WASH, environmental health, wastewater resource recovery, and sustainable development. Our research turns community-level observations into scientific evidence that informs interventions and shapes policy.

"Engaging, equipping, and amplifying young voices for WASH and environmental sustainability."
GESI hosts annual competitions that challenge Nigerian youths to think critically about WASH, environmental equity, and public health. Complemented by a structured volunteer network offering hands-on field experience, mentorship, and pathways to professional roles.
We translate complex research findings into accessible, non-technical content for public audiences. Through digital campaigns tied to global observances, monthly opportunities curation, and research spotlights, we keep the conversation on WASH visible and actionable.
