West Africa continues to witness record levels of conflicts resulting in forced internal displacements, predominantly due to violent ethnoreligious attacks from extremist forces, amongst other things. This has left several millions living in devastating poverty and vulnerable conditions, and now living across several Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, especially in the biggest West African nation, Nigeria.
Since 2013, Benue State in Nigeria, a Christian majority state, has witnessed incessant attacks from armed Fulani bandits, an extreme Islamic ethnic group. These invasions have resulted in the massacre of thousands of people, destruction of communities, and often, total obliteration of economic and cultural assets in these communities.
Prayer Request:
- With over 1,200 children in our learning program and very limited conducive classrooms, Restore Mission, with your partnership, hopes to build more classrooms.
- With over 44,000 children reportedly malnourished across the Benue IDP camps, Restore Mission, with your partnership, hopes to provide more school lunch meals for these kids
- With over three hundred thousand adults whose primary economic activity was mostly farming, but now with no more farmlands to cultivate, Restore Mission, with your partnership, hopes to train many more adults in viable trades, start them up and empower them to thrive economically
- With more than twenty such camps in Benue State Nigeria, Restore Mission, with your partnership, hopes to be able to reach many more camps while this crisis lingers.
