The Women’s Health Education and Development organization (WHED) is run by Dr. Irene Patrick-Ogbogu. It is a non governmental organization (NGO) that focuses on:

• Providing information and education for people who are sexually active, and those who may participate in risky sexual behavior (such as having multiple sexual partners, having sex without a condom and so on) on HIV/AIDS/STI’s prevention and control
• Improving the reproductive health of deprived and marginalized women and raising their awareness on the benefits of family planning
• Establishing functional literacy and economic development programs for female sex workers with the aim of providing livelihood alternatives for them
• Research in the AIDS/HIV development
