Systems-focused.
Heart-driven.
TAAF works where gaps are most visible: between communities, data, and life-saving care.
Our Identity
TAAF is a Nigerian non-profit organization established in memory of Theodora Anavhe Adamu, whose death during childbirth exposed the gaps that still exist in maternal healthcare systems.
What began as community-level safe motherhood advocacy has evolved into a systems-focused organization working across maternal health, SRHR, and health system accountability.
- Working Between communities and health facilities
- Working Between data and decision-making
- Working Between policy and lived reality
Born from a loss,
built for the future.
In 2012, our family experienced a devastating loss. Theodora Anavhe Adamu died from pregnancy-related complications. When we later sought her medical records, they were missing.
That moment revealed a deeper problem: not just clinical failure, but system failure. TAAF was founded to ensure that women are not lost in the system, care is timely, and every life is counted.
