You may never know their names. You may never visit their community. You may live thousands of kilometres away.
But recently, your generosity reached a family in Otukpo-Nobi, Benue State, Nigeria. It arrived as a 25kg bag of rice.
Through donations received on GlobalGiving, GoGreen was able to provide food assistance to 25 conflict-affected households—approximately 125 people.
These were families from a community that had recently experienced violence, deaths and displacement. Your support could not undo what happened.
But it could respond to what happened. It could provide food. It could reduce an immediate burden. And it could send a powerful message across borders: Someone cares.
This is one of the extraordinary things about giving.
A person in one part of the world can make a decision today, and that decision can eventually become food on another family's table thousands of kilometres away.
We have seen that happen. Now we want to make it happen again.
More conflict-affected families in Benue need assistance, and the number of households we can support depends on the resources we are able to mobilize.
So, wherever you are reading this from, please know: Distance does not prevent you from making a difference.
Your next donation could travel farther than you imagine—and end up exactly where it is needed.
