Our Organisation
A Movement Born From Compassion
Be My Hand Initiative (BMH) is a non-governmental organisation founded in 2018 by Dr. Esther Isah Bila. What began as one woman's response to the unmet needs of her community has grown into a structured, impactful organisation touching thousands of lives across northern Nigeria.
Operating under the Esther Isah Bila Foundation (EIBF), we run targeted programmes in women's healthcare, girls' education, children's nutrition, and community livelihood — because sustainable development requires addressing every dimension of human wellbeing.
