The Camps Are Already Struggling

By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader

Displacement does not end when a family arrives at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp. In many respects, it marks the beginning of a new and often more complex struggle for survival.

According to UNICEF, a joint humanitarian assessment with the Benue State Emergency Management Agency identified critical gaps in essential services across 15 displacement camps. These camps currently shelter approximately 97,000 individuals from 28,400 households, all of whom are in urgent need of basic assistance.

The reality on the ground is sobering. Imagine tens of thousands of families requiring food, clean water, sanitation, healthcare, shelter, and basic household supplies—all at once. Now, consider the challenge as new families, fleeing recent attacks, continue to arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. Each new wave of displacement puts greater strain on already overstretched resources and infrastructure.

Through the Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria project, GoGreen is working diligently to provide targeted, practical assistance to those most affected. Our support includes:

  • Food supplies
  • Hygiene materials
  • Water containers
  • Sleeping mats and blankets
  • Dignity materials for women and girls

Despite these efforts, the demand for aid consistently exceeds the available resources. Every additional donation allows us to reach further and help more families in crisis. Each contribution can mean the difference between hunger and hope for a displaced household. Sharing our campaign can also connect us with others willing to join this cause.

While we cannot resolve Benue’s displacement crisis alone, collective action can ensure that fewer families go to bed hungry tonight.

Your support is urgently needed. Please help us reach another family in need.
