Summary

Violent attacks in Nigeria's Middle Belt have forced thousands of rural families from their homes, destroying livelihoods and food systems. Widows like Magerate lost her husband and four children in one night and now survives in an IDP camp with nothing. RUWAI will provide emergency food, clean water, healthcare, trauma support, and livelihood assistance to help displaced families survive today and rebuild tomorrow.

Challenge

Ongoing attacks on poor farming communities have destroyed homes, livelihoods, and food systems. Millions have fled to overcrowded camps where hunger, disease, trauma, and poverty deepen daily. Widows, children, people with disabilities and the elderly are the most affected, trapped between violence, rising food prices, and the loss of ancestral land that once sustained their lives.

Solution

RUWAI will provide emergency food, clean water, basic healthcare, shelter support, and trauma care for displaced families. Beyond relief, we will help survivors rebuild through livelihood support, small scale farming inputs, and skills training. Our approach restores dignity while meeting urgent needs for families like Magerate's who have nowhere else to turn.

Long-Term Impact

This project helps families move from survival to stability. Children regain nutrition and hope. Women rebuild income and confidence. Communities recover food production and resilience. By supporting healing, livelihoods, and self reliance, donors help break cycles of hunger, displacement, and poverty, creating lasting recovery for rural Nigerian families affected by violence.
