Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria

When we think about hunger, we often imagine families without enough food. But for displaced households in Benue State, another challenge is frequently overlooked: the cost of preparing a meal.

Imagine a mother receiving a bag of rice through humanitarian assistance, only to discover that buying cooking fuel will consume money needed for her children's other necessities.

For families who have lost their farms, businesses, homes, and livelihoods to violent conflict, even the smallest daily expense can become overwhelming.

At GoGreen, we believe humanitarian assistance should address these hidden challenges.

That is why, alongside our Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria project, we are promoting biomass briquettes as an alternative cooking fuel that can help vulnerable households reduce their reliance on expensive conventional fuels.

With appropriate cooking equipment and practical guidance, this initiative has the potential to make meal preparation more affordable.

Because providing food is important. Helping families prepare it affordably is equally meaningful.

Your donation can help us provide emergency food assistance while expanding access to practical cooking solutions for vulnerable households.

We are grateful for every contribution that has brought our project this far.

But many more families still need support.

Please help us address the hidden costs of hunger. Your generosity can help families not only receive food but also prepare the meals they desperately need.

Imagine receiving food assistance but struggling to afford the fuel needed to prepare a meal. For many families displaced by violent conflict in Benue State, this is another painful reality of survival. Having lost their homes, farms, livelihoods, and sources of income, even basic necessities such as cooking fuel have become difficult to afford.

Through our Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria project, GoGreen has been providing much-needed food assistance to vulnerable households, thanks to the generosity of compassionate donors like you.

But we are learning that putting food on the table is only part of the solution. Families also need affordable ways to cook it.

That is why we are expanding our humanitarian response to include biomass briquettes—an alternative cooking fuel produced from compressed organic materials. By promoting access to appropriate briquette cooking solutions and practical skills, we hope to help displaced families reduce their cooking expenses, lessen dependence on costly conventional fuels, and develop opportunities for greater self-reliance.

For a mother struggling to feed her children, every amount saved on cooking fuel can help meet another essential household need. For displaced women, young people, and persons with disabilities, learning practical production skills may also create opportunities for income generation and economic empowerment.

Our vision goes beyond helping families survive today. We want to help them rebuild their lives with dignity and greater independence tomorrow.

But we cannot achieve this alone. Your continued generosity can help us reach more vulnerable households with food assistance, affordable cooking solutions, and practical empowerment opportunities.

A food package can feed a family today. Your support for sustainable solutions can help that family become more resilient tomorrow.

To everyone who has already donated, thank you for making our work possible. Please consider giving again or sharing our project with others who may be willing to help.

They Survived the Violence. Help Them Survive the Hunger—and Rebuild Their Lives.
