Communities across Nigeria are experiencing the worst floods in at least 10 years. More than 600 people have been killed and 2.8 million people have been displaced from their homes. The floods are striking during a difficult period in Nigeria with soaring inflation and a growing risk of catastrophic levels of hunger. Your donation to the Nigeria Flood Relief Fund will provide immediate and long-term relief in affected communities.
The floods in Nigeria have affected communities in 29 of the country's 36 states. The floods have destroyed thousands of homes and farmland vital to the livelihood of communities. Extreme flooding is expected to continue through November 2022 putting even more people in danger. Your donation to the Nigeria Flood Relief Fund will meet emergency needs, such as the provision of food, water, and shelter, and provide long-term support in affected communities.
All donations to this fund will support recovery and relief efforts for people impacted by flooding across Nigeria. Initially, funding will help first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. The fund will then transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run primarily by local, vetted organizations in affected regions across Nigeria.

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
