We are a Nigerian Non-profit,
Non-governmental Organization Incorporated on 16th May 2001
The Centre for Communication and Social Impact (CCSI), was registered in 2001 as a Non-Governmental Organization with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria. Birthed in Nigeria by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (JHCCP), Baltimore, USA, CCPN transitioned its operations under the new name CCSI after an exciting 10 years of growth and operations in Nigeria and other African countries.
Our new name clearly communicates our expanding portfolio and identity as an indigenous Nigerian NGO. Centre for Communication and Social Impact (CCSI) reflects our ambition as we look towards our growing future and the plans we have in contributing to Nigeria’s development and the African continent.

Flagship CSR initiative
RUGAN ARDO ''WASH'' PROJECT
Many public health challenges such as: malnutrition, malaria, water borne diseases etc. faced by communities in Nigeria are largely preventable. Several rural communities in Nigeria lack access to safe drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene services; malaria prevention and treatment services; as well as access to family planning (FP)/childbirth spacing (CBS) services. Women in rural areas are more likely to marry earlier than their urban counterparts, increasing the need for modern family planning. However, women in rural areas are less likely to use modern contraceptives when compared to their urban counterparts.
TUBERCULOSIS:
The Struggle,
The Pain,
The Stigma.
The rate of deaths caused by Tuberculosis in Nigeria is on the high rise as 120,000 persons die annually due to the deadly disease. Watch as these TB Survivors share their journey through the healing process.
Create the kind of world you want to live in.

“At 15, I have two children from three conceptions”
When I got pregnant for the first time, I was merely 13 years old and I suffered a lot; my legs and whole body got swollen because my husband did not allow me to go for Antenatal service as a result of shame.” These are the words of Na’imat Basiru, a teenage mother who already has two children from three conceptions. Lost in a dismal thought …
