A Farming Family Can Lose Everything Overnight

By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader

A Farming Family Can Lose Everything Overnight

In Benue, thousands of farming families depend entirely on their land for survival. Yet, when violence strikes, a once-independent household can be forced to flee, losing everything in a single night.

Families caught in conflict leave behind:

  • Crops and stored food
  • Livestock and farm tools
  • Clothing, cooking materials, and treasured homes

This devastating loss is a harsh reality for many in Benue. In July 2026, the Otukpo-Nobi community endured another deadly attack, with lives lost, injuries reported, and homes burned.

For survivors, escaping the violence is only the beginning of a daunting journey. Each day brings urgent questions:

  • Where will the children sleep?
  • What will the family eat?
  • How can a farmer provide when it’s unsafe to return to the fields?

Through our Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria, project, GoGreen delivers emergency food and essential support to help families through these darkest days. Our aim is not to create dependency but to offer vital support while families regain their stability and safety.

Food assistance offers breathing space—a chance to recover, regroup, and plan for the future.

Your support can provide this critical relief. Please help us give more families the time and security they need to rebuild their lives.

A donation today can change everything for a family in need.
