Who We Are

Her life and work are a powerful example for us in our time.
NIGH’s progress has been achieved through worldwide friendships formed in the sharing of common goals. NIGH's core team and advisors include nursing and midwifery leaders, scholars and citizen activists, as well as experts in global communications strategies — experienced in advancing informed concerns. Among these ‘friends’ are those who have worked within the United Nations, its Agencies and related collaborating organizations of civil society.
Established, in 2006, as a US non-profit 501(c)3 in Washington, DC, ‘NIGH USA' with the now-parent organization of 'NIGH World' — a Canadian non-profit corporation formed in 2008 — NIGH's support derives from private donations, sponsorships, partnerships and with substantial in-kind and pro-bono contributions and volunteering. We are now exploring further support for specific projects from grants and foundations and through upcoming collaborations with schools, universities, media and related stakeholders with similar goals.
