Grow Strong Foundation (GSF) is a youth-led, child-focused grassroots NGO based in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Established in 2017 and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in 2018, our mission is to protect, promote, and advocate for the inclusion of young people and persons with disabilities in social protection, peacebuilding, and community development.
We operate in communities most affected by the insurgency in Northeast Nigeria — bringing not just services, but sustained presence, trust, and accountability.
