The Christian Foundation for Social Justice and Equity (CFSJE) is working to build a stable and democratic society in Nigeria. It was established in 2000, and it works in collaboration with many local and international partners. Its programmes and activities are focused on social development, human rights, peace building, conflict transformation, democracy and good governance, HIV/AIDS, women empowerment and civic education.

CFSJE aims at empowering women, the less privileged members of society so that they can participate in the decision-making processes that affect their livelihood and well-being.
