Expanding the Mission

Because of the continued attacks in Nigeria, the number of orphans is growing. In August, we added the Riyom Local Government Area to our monthly route.

We also discovered a previously neglected IDP camp in Mangu where 13 orphans had been left without support. We immediately enrolled them in our program.

Rebuilding Lives, One Child at a Time

Our work in Nigeria is evolving. We are not just dropping off food; we are trying to rebuild the family structures that the Jihadists destroyed.

Our team has been conducting assessments to see which children can be placed with relatives and which need to remain in the camps. In some cases, we have seen success—children we supported last year have been integrated into stable families, allowing us to shift funds to new victims who have just arrived.

But the need remains overwhelming. In Mangu alone, over 134,000 people have been displaced by the attacks. The army’s presence is often viewed as a threat rather than a help, leaving the community to fend for itself.

We will continue to stand in the gap.
