HerGoodwillDrive is SDGforHer’s community impact program designed to meet the immediate needs of women and families in underserved communities through practical, dignified and compassionate interventions. The program brings together three essential support initiatives: the Health Drive, Clothes Drive and the Food Drive. Each was created to address a critical gap affecting women’s wellbeing and survival.

The heart of HerGoodwillDrive is simple: impact does not always have to be grand to be meaningful. A small act of support can uplift a family, restore dignity or change the trajectory of a woman’s life. Through this program, SDGforHer provides direct relief where it matters most while building long-term pathways for health, dignity and stability.

HerGoodwillDrive is a flagship humanitarian program under SDGforHer Initiative aimed at promoting health access, basic needs support, and community resilience for women-led households across Nigeria.

Program Components

HerGoodwill Health Drive

A community medical outreach that delivers free healthcare screenings, health education and medical support to women in hard-to-reach or low-income communities. Activities include:

  • Blood pressure checks
  • Blood sugar (BG) tests
  • BMI and basic health assessments
  • One-on-one consultations with volunteer doctors
  • Culturally sensitive health talks in local languages
  • Distribution of home-use health monitoring devices (e.g. BP monitors, thermometers, pulse monitors e.t.c)

The Health Drive addresses the reality that many Nigerian women live far from accessible healthcare, often with high prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and low health literacy.

HerGoodwill Clothes Drive

This restores dignity to women and their families by providing clean, quality clothing, but it also supports sustainability. Every donated item is given a second life, reducing textile waste and promoting a simple form of circularity within underserved communities.

Nigeria faces high levels of clothing waste due to fast fashion and imported secondhand clothing. At the same time, many women cannot afford decent clothing for school, work or daily life. The Clothes Drive bridges this gap: we collect, sort and redistribute gently-used clothing, ensuring they are appropriate, clean and respectful. We collect through a call for donations and redistribute the clothes through a careful process that priorities:

  • Dignity: ensuring all items are clean, wearable and appropriate
  • Sustainability: extending the life cycle of clothing and reducing textile waste
  • Circularity: promoting reuse as a vital part of the circular economy
  • Community care: connecting urban abundance to rural and underserved communities

HerGoodwill Food Drive

The food outreach that provides nutritious food boxes to women-led households and vulnerable families, especially during the festive season. Each box contains essential non-perishable food staples designed to sustain a family for 3–5 days.

What started in 2023 with 150 boxes has grown into one of our most impactful interventions through the #1000forHer campaign, reaching over a thousand families across Lagos and Kebbi State.

Program Objectives

  • To provide fast, practical relief that improves the wellbeing and dignity of women and families in underserved communities.
  • To reduce preventable health risks by increasing access to screenings, early diagnosis and health education.
  • To promote economic relief through food support, especially during high-cost festive seasons.
  • To strengthen community resilience by addressing immediate needs while complementing long-term empowerment programs.
  • To encourage a culture of giving, volunteerism and compassionate community engagement.
