02 Activities

What the charity does

Our current aim is to address both the immediate and long-term needs of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and communities affected by the insurgency in North Eastern Nigeria. We work to raise as much awareness of the situation as possible, and work even harder raising funds to support the IDPs with relief material for the immediate short-term and rehabilitative empowerment for the long-term.
