Nigeria Needs Our Help
Protect the basic human rights of Nigerians who are devastated by religious conflict and bring lasting stability to the entire nation.
ICON Help
Entire Nigerian populations are facing violence and terrorism due to a long-standing, ethno-religious conflict fueled by complacency and injustice within their political and governing systems. These fault lines, coupled with a lack of international recognition and intervention, threaten not only the stability of one of Africa’s cornerstone nations, it has disastrous consequences for the U.S. and international community.
