Gender-based violence affects an estimated 30% of women globally (UNICEF, 2023), and in Northern Nigeria, the numbers are even higher due to conflict, poverty, and weak social systems. Disabled women are particularly at risk, often facing violence both in the home and from the wider community.
Our project in Guma, Benue State, provides vital services to 50 women and girls with disabilities, helping them recover and build new futures. We offer psychosocial support, legal and healthcare referrals, and practical skills training that enables survivors to gain financial independence.
Your donation is an investment in resilience. Survivors who receive support are more likely to escape cycles of abuse, support others, and contribute positively to their communities. By helping us train community advocates, you ensure that this support network will continue to grow long after the project ends.
Together, we can help survivors not just recover, but thrive—creating lasting change for families and communities alike.
