Empower 500 Women in Post-Conflict Borno, Nigeria

The project Empower 500 Women in Post-Conflict Borno, Nigeria was designed to address the harsh realities facing women in communities affected by years of conflict. Many of these women are widows, single mothers, or caregivers who lost their sources of income, homes, and safety. Without support, they continue to face hunger, lack of healthcare, and limited means to rebuild their lives.

Current Progress

We are deeply grateful to the individuals and groups who have already extended their generosity. Their donations have given this project a strong starting point. With these contributions, we have been able to carry out preliminary planning, select the communities most in need, and begin identifying the first group of beneficiaries.

The Challenge

Unfortunately, the gap between what we have raised and what is required to carry out the full project remains wide. The problems facing women in post-conflict Borno are overwhelming:

• Many households headed by women lack steady food supplies.

• Healthcare access is very limited, leaving mothers and children vulnerable.

• Opportunities to earn a living are scarce, trapping families in long-term hardship.

• Girls are often forced to leave school to work or marry early because families cannot cope.

These problems grow worse each day that passes without intervention.
The situation demands quick action. Every delay means more families fall deeper into suffering. This project is designed to provide immediate relief by equipping 500 women with training, seed capital, and tools to rebuild livelihoods, while also ensuring their children gain access to food and education. Timely funding will mean we can begin the full rollout without postponement.

To those who have already given, we say thank you. Your kindness has brought hope to many who had none. To those reading this report who may be considering whether to give, we ask you to see the urgency of the need. Even a single contribution can help us move closer to changing the lives of these women and their families.

Your generosity today can help break the cycle of hunger, hardship, and despair.

Warm regards,
Kadiri, Ugbede-Ojo Dominic
