Building Awareness

Northern Nigeria is experiencing a deepening humanitarian crisis. Terrorism fueled by Fulani militants and Boko Haram have forced hundreds of thousands of Nigerians to flee their homes. These families face serious issues accessing food, water, shelter, and other basic human needs. Nigerians across the country face terrorism, religious persecution, and human rights violations on a daily basis. It’s time to educate the public on these issues and send help where it is so desperately needed. Terrorism in Nigeria Humanitarian Crisis Religious Persecution Regional Instability
