About Us

Founded in 2024 in Jos, Plateau State, Back to Base Initiative for Vulnerable People was born from a desire to give voice to the unheard. Our work is rooted in justice, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves dignity, protection, and opportunity, regardless of background.

Our Mission

A just and inclusive society where all individuals—regardless of gender, status, or circumstance—can live in dignity, free from violence, exclusion, and discrimination.

Our Vision

To promote justice, empower vulnerable populations, and strengthen community-based systems of care by delivering timely, trauma-informed interventions and advocating for equity and human rights.

  • Our Core Values:
  • Empathy – Centering human experiences and understanding the pain, needs, and hopes of those we serve.
  • Equity – Upholding fairness, justice, and equal opportunities for all.
  • Accountability – Maintaining transparency and integrity in our work and partnerships.
  • Collaboration – Building alliances with communities, stakeholders, and institutions to co-create impact.
  • Resilience – Cultivating strength and hope in the face of adversity.
