About Us
Hi, welcome to waka community Foundation
What is Waka Community
Foundation about?
Waka Community Foundation is a not-for-profit wellness and health organization that began in September 2021 in Nigeria and currently has over 50,000 members in 46 countries around the world. As reflective of its originality and ‘Nigerianness’, we adopted the word “Waka” which means “to walk” in Pidgin language. So, we are truly building a global brand out of Nigeria. Waka Community Foundation is homegrown, from Nigeria to the rest of the world.
To ensure we drive Pan-Nigeria inclusiveness, we have chapters in Lagos, Abuja, Uyo, Calabar, Owerri, Yola, and Jos. More Neighbourhood Waka Chapters are developing in other cities. Internationally, we also have members and chapters in Canada, the US, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, Botswana, and Liberia, to mention a few.
Our focus is changing lives one waka at a time by promoting physical and mental well-being through walking, eating responsibly in small portions, hydrating well, and getting adequate sleep.
We also can be found on many social media platforms AND also the Waka International App.
